Deep expertise in vintage and modern military round canopy platforms. Inspection, repack, and documentation for T-10, SF-10A, MC1-1C, MC-6, MIRPS, and surplus systems — performed by riggers who know these systems from the inside out.
Military round canopy systems operate under different engineering principles, packing procedures, and regulatory frameworks than modern sport equipment. Many civilian riggers have never touched a T-10 or MC1-1. At Orange Diamond Rigging LLC, military round systems are a core competency — not an afterthought.
We service active military surplus, collector rigs, static-line training systems, and emergency round parachutes. Every system receives the same meticulous inspection and documentation standard we apply to every rig that leaves our table.
The standard U.S. Army troop parachute system. 35-foot diameter flat circular canopy with 1-TT nylon suspension lines. Used for mass tactical jumps from C-130 aircraft.
Modified T-10 with TU-modification for forward drive and limited steering capability. Standard U.S. Army steerable troop parachute for precision drop zone operations.
U.S. Air Force static-line troop parachute system. Flat circular canopy used for personnel drops from fixed-wing aircraft. Similar construction to the T-10 family with Air Force-specific rigging and documentation requirements.
Next-generation U.S. Army steerable troop parachute replacing the MC1-1 series. Features a 7-TU modification for significantly improved forward drive and maneuverability, enabling more precise landing zone targeting under tactical conditions.
Military Integrated Reserve Parachute System. Chest-mounted emergency reserve used with military freefall and HALO/HAHO systems. Requires FAA-certificated rigger for inspection and repack.
Vintage and surplus military round canopies including WWII-era systems, C-9 cargo parachutes, and other decommissioned military equipment. Condition assessment, preservation inspection, and repack for display or use.
Not all military surplus parachute equipment is airworthy. Age, storage conditions, UV exposure, and improper handling can render a canopy unsafe for use. We will always give you an honest assessment — if a system is not safe to jump, we will tell you. We do not repack equipment we are not confident in.
Contact us to discuss your specific system, its history, and what service it needs. We work with active jumpers, collectors, and military units.
