Marine Pfc. Brad A. Clark inspects the rigged aerial delivery systems of Joint Precision Airdrop Systems during a Weapons and Training Instructor Course March 30, 2017, at Marine Corps Air Station Yuma, Ariz. The JPADS systems use GPS, a modular autonomous guidance unit, or MAGU, a parachute and electric motors to guide cargo within 150 meters of their target points. Marine Corps Systems Command fielded the last of 162 JPADS to the fleet in April, turning the page from acquisition to sustainment of the system for the Corps.
