CONTAINER DELIVERY SYSTEM (CDS)

CDS drops can either be high or low velocity, and are generally made from altitudes ranging from 600 to 25,000 feet (182 to 7,620 meters) above ground level (AGL). The actual drop altitude is selected based upon tactical considerations, however, 600 feet (182 meters) AGL is the most commonly used drop altitude.
