A parachute bundle with the Joint Precision Air Drop system is dropped from a C-130J Hercules to a remote forward operating base, Nov. 27, 2011. The JPAD system uses a GPS navigation system to guide parachute bundles to precise drop zones, minimizing collateral damage, troops' ground travel, and the vulnerability of the air craft.
