Aircraft Egress Hardware

The Advanced Concept Ejection Seat II (ACES II) ejection seat system is initiated by explosive components connected to our Analog Recovery Sequencer. This family of ballistic devices contain explosive charges that utilize a full range of initiation systems – percussion primers, dual electrical bridgewires, linear explosives lines, and hot gas. Numerous of these CADs have varying pyrotechnic delay functions to accommodate the required sequence of egress conditions. The US Air Force has assigned National Stock Numbers (NSN) to identify these explosive components. ACESII program photo
