(2) Estimate of payload meets 95 percent of the requirement provided in the full-scale development contract for the key performance parameters for payload-to-range systems performance. (3) Operational clearance for aircraft to be air refueled from operational KC-10 and KC-135 aircraft at standard ^r Force refueling speeds for the specific tanker in a single receiver formation. (4) Demonstration of combat offload with two 463L pallets using the air delivery system rsdls. (5) Airdrop of 70 paratroopers on one pass, using both paratroop doors.
