IrvinGQ contract for 25 million pounds
IrvinGQ has received a contract from the British Ministry of Defense in the amount of 25 million pounds for the supply of a modern air delivery system based on Atlas A400M aircraft of the Royal Air Force. This order provides for the production of up to 25 PRIBAD (Parachute Rigger Integrated Boat Airdrop) systems, ten-year operational support and full integration with aviation and marine platforms.
The system is designed to revolutionize the way marine boats are delivered to hard-to-reach areas.
How the PRIBAD system works
PRIBAD is an advanced system for parachuting large rigid inflatable boats (RHIB) and rigid hull boats. It is designed for the safe discharge of vessels from 6 to 14 meters long and weighing up to 12 tons from a transport aircraft at a speed and altitude compatible with combat conditions.
After separation from the aircraft, the boat parachutes down and gently lands, after which it can immediately begin performing tasks ranging from rescue operations to tactical special forces missions.
From amphibious landings to naval operations in minutes
Previously, shipping boats to remote areas required complex logistics — sea transportation or manual assembly. PRIBAD allows you to reduce the deployment time to a minimum: the boat is dropped off in a ready-to-use form and immediately comes into action.
This is especially important in emergency situations, humanitarian crises, or rapid response to threats in coastal areas.
Flexibility and integration with the naval forces
One of the key advantages of PRIBAD is its modularity. The interchangeable frames allow the system to be adapted to different types of boats and payloads, from reconnaissance boats to large rescue vessels.
The system will be integrated with units of the Royal Air Force, Royal Navy and Special Operations Forces, ensuring seamless interaction between aviation and naval forces.
