The system has been developed by a laboratory of the Defence Research and Development Organisation.
The Indian Air Force recently conducted successful trials of the Heavy Drop System from a cargo aircraft, IAF officials said on Saturday.
The officials said the Heavy Drop system is designed and developed by a laboratory of the Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO).
"The trial of the system has been completed in partnership with Aerial Delivery Research and Development Establishment towards achieving self-reliance in the military sector," IAF officials said.
Heavy drop systems are used for para-dropping vehicles or heavy loads during operations along with troops in forward areas.
The DRDO lab based out of Agra is tasked with developing such systems for the defence forces.
