Developed for the United States Navy under a Small Business Innovative Research (SBIR) contract, the Mosquito MJU is the world's smallest guided parachute system. Barely bigger than a mobile telephone, the Mosquito MJU can autonomously fly and precisely emplace Unattended Ground Sensors (UGS) after a 10,000g launch from an ALE-47/MJU-10b counter measures (flare/chaff) canister.
By conforming to the MJU-10b form factor the Mosquito MJU can be launched from any aircraft equipped with ALE-47 counter measures dispenser systems. Current US platforms are:
