High-altitude military parachuting is generally categorised as either High-altitude high-opening (HAHO) or High-altitude low-opening (HALO), depending upon the altitude at which parachutes are deployed after exiting the aircraft.

A HAHO jump is a special type of military-style parachute jump performed when an aircraft is unable to fly above enemy skies without creating a threat to jumpers or the plane. Jumpers exit at high altitude, quickly pull chutes, and fly under canopy to the designated target.

In a HALO jump, parachutists exit an aircraft at a high altitude and freefall for an extended period before opening their parachutes at a relatively low altitude. This technique allows special operations forces to cover large distances horizontally …

Apr 23, 2015 · Members of the 7th Special Forces Group Green Berets conduct a high-altitude high-opening (HAHO) military parachute jump from a C-130H3 Hercules during train...

Aug 14, 2020 · Using HAHO jumps, soldiers can travel up to 50 km under an open canopy, thus entering into the enemy lines safely within 20-30 minutes. In the HALO technique, the parachutist opens his parachute at as low altitude as possible (at about 200-500 meters) quickly to avoid enemy detection.

May 7, 2011 · HALO involves paratroopers jumping at around 25,000 feet and freefalling down to 3,500 feet. Plummeting at a terminal velocity of 126 mph, parachutists can descend this distance within two...

May 17, 2024 · Delving into the world of airborne operations, the realm of High-Altitude High-Opening (HAHO) jumps unveils a fascinating blend of skill, precision, and sheer courage. These meticulously orchestrated descents epitomize the epitome of …

Jun 13, 2024 · HAHO Jumps, also known as High Altitude High Opening jumps, are a specialized type of military parachuting technique. In a HAHO jump, operatives exit the aircraft at high altitudes, typically above 30,000 feet, allowing for stealthy insertion into enemy territory.

High Altitude High Opening (HAHO) A parachute insertion technique used to thwart detection by hostile forces on the ground. Parachutists jump out at more than 6,000 metres feet, deploy their chutes, and quietly drift to the predetermined landing site 20 - 25 kilometres away downwind from where they initially jumped out of the plane.

High Altitude, High-Open, military-style parachute jumps. Spend up to 20 minutes flying under canopy. Jump from an altitude just below the stratosphere and feel the pop of your chute within seconds. Then you’ll literally “hang out”, suspended in …
