On 1 May 1974 the Range Measurements Laboratory (RML) conducted a feasibility demonstration using a Family II 200,000 cubic foot aerodynamic shape balloon system in a logistics scenario. The purpose of this demonstration was to evaluate the use of an aerodynamic balloon system in a low altitude heavy lift configuration. Additionally, the control/coordination problems associated with the use of two single drum balloon winch systems were evaluated. These winch systems were located 1500 feet apart and were used to maneuver the balloon and its payload. The Family II balloon was used to transport a MILVAN container from one location to another over a distance of approximately 1500 feet. The MILVAN was deposited at this new point, picked up and then transported to and positioned on a flatbed trailer.
