The new GPS guided Screamer 2K bundle, Joint Precision Air Drop System, fall out of the back of a C-130 Hercules over Afghanistan Aug. 26, 2006 over. The drop was made from 17,500 feet above mean sea level, and was the first joint Air Force Army operational drop of JPADS in the Central Command Area of Responsibility. Four bundles were dropped from the Alaska Air National Guard C-130. The system is designed to provide precision airdrops from high altitudes, elimination the treat of small arms fire. All four bundles arrived at the drop zone, less than 25 meters from the desired target. (U.S. Air Force photo/Senior Airman Brian Ferguson)
