The GMV 1.1 is designed to be internally transportable via CH-47 Chinook helicopter as well as U.S. Air Force C–130 Hercules and C-17 Globemaster III heavy lift aircraft, and will be airdropped a total of six times.

It will support tactical operators in both urban and non-urban environments across the full spectrum of Special Operations Forces (SOF) military operations and terrain profiles. 

Military Occupational Specialists 92R — parachute riggers — are proficient in the preparation and aerial delivery rigging of the myriad of special operations equipment.

One such “rigger,” Spc. Arron Hlavacek of the 1st Battalion, 3rd Special Forces Group, along with Sgt. Jered Clifton with the 528th Special Troops Battalion, 528th Sustainment Brigade, are honing their skills as they participate in the GMV 1.1 aerial delivery test.
