Apco Defence Industries delivers certified, battle-proven parachutes and textile recovery systems for defense, aerospace, and dual-use applications worldwide. Our end-to-end quality assurance process and strict compliance with global military standards ensure unmatched reliability in the most demanding operational environments.
At Apco Defence Industries, quality isn’t an afterthought – it’s built into every layer of what we do. From the moment raw materials enter our facility to the moment a completed system is shipped out, every step is certified, traceable, and proven. Our products are trusted by some of the world’s most demanding defense programs because we go beyond meeting military standards – we set new benchmarks for reliability and performance.
(EN 12491 is the European Norm for emergency reserve parachutes, ensuring canopy strength, opening reliability, and descent rate within safe limits for human use. LTF is the German airworthiness standard, which verifies compliance with strict safety, design, and performance requirements for aviation equipment.)
We’re one of the few defense textile manufacturers with real experience in human-rated systems. Our Mayday reserve parachutes meet EN 12491 and LTF standards, and we apply the same strict protocols to military-grade systems.
From UAV recovery systems deployed by the IDF to specialized parachutes used in joint NATO exercises, our products have a proven record in real-world operations. In one recent project, we supplied high-precision cargo parachutes to a European defense contractor, meeting aggressive delivery deadlines while passing all MIL-SPEC drop tests on the first attempt.
We meet and exceed the requirements of major defense organizations, including IAI, Elbit Systems, Rafael, and Uvision. Our systems are built to pass:
