Our products are tailored for military UAVs and airborne platforms where every gram counts. With more than 50 years of experience in aerodynamic design, we draw on a legacy of innovation in paragliding to bring high-efficiency textile engineering into the defense sector.
We use specialized fabrics and components that reduce weight without compromising strength:
We pioneered lightweight technology in the paragliding world-where full flight systems must be carried on foot and flown across long distances. This same thinking now drives our compact, high-performance recovery systems for military and commercial UAVs.
Through smart canopy architecture and weight-optimized rigging, our systems can reduce sink rates by up to 30%-allowing you to downsize, cut weight, and maintain recovery reliability even in tight packaging spaces.
Engineered for Combat Conditions
All Apco systems meet or exceed military standards. They’re field-proven under harsh conditions: high-speed, high-altitude, and high-G environments. We test, validate, and qualify every solution under real-world conditions.
