October 6, 2026 – Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO) conducted the maiden live jump of the Advanced High-Altitude Parachute (AHAP) at one of the highest-altitude drop zones, Nyoma (Mudh DZ). The jump was executed at 16,000 feet above mean sea level (AMSL). The parachute was deployed at 15,500 feet AMSL and landing was undertaken at Nyoma (Mudh DZ) which is at 13,700 feet. The jump proved the efficacy and tactical employability of the AHAP parachute at extremely High-Altitude Terrains.
