NSN 1670-99-806-0836
The CSPEP was developed as a method for carrying a parachutist's equipment in a compact, shaped load weighing up to 120 pounds (54 kg). It is easy to pack and enables the quick release of equipment loads from the parachute harness via a lowering line.
Rigging the ALICE and MOLLE pack, single-point quick release
NSN 1670-01-227-7992 (PN 11-1-3008)
All load carriers - including ALICE and MOLLE packs as well as weapons cases - are attached to the parachutist via the HSPR and rigged to be lowered using a hook-pile tape lowering line. The HSPR features an H-type design and is constructed from nylon webbing with friction adapters to secure it around the load. Additionally, it is equipped with two adjustable D-ring attachment straps.
Lowering line assemblies serve as the standard method for lowering individual equipment loads during personnel parachute jumps. Specifically, the HPT lowering line is utilized to lower all equipment attached to the parachutist. Additionally, a modified version of the HPT lowering line is available to accommodate the AT4JP when configured for tandem-load lowering.
All assemblies are manufactured, inspected, and qualified in strict accordance with current applicable MIL-DTL-6645, MIL-DTL-27893 and MIL-STD-849.
