Defence Research & Development Organisation (DRDO) and Indian Navy conducted the successful maiden test trial of ‘ADC-150’ from IL 38SD aircraft off the coast of Goa on April 27, 2023.  ‘ADC-150’ is an indigenously designed and developed Air Droppable Container with 150 kg payload capacity.    The trial was conducted to enhance the naval operational logistics capabilities by providing quick response to meet the requirement of critical engineering stores to ships (under distress), which are deployed more than 2,000 kms from the coast.  It reduces the requirement of ships to come close to the coast to collect spares and stores.
