Next Generation Ejection Seat

Abstract

This effort includes the qualification, procurement, fielding and sustainment of an upgraded ejection seat escape system for ACES II-equipped aircraft. The new ejection seat escape system safely accommodates greater variation in aircrew minimum and maximum weights at minimum aircrew sitting height of 31 inches, including 59% of the female pilot population, and the use of Helmet Mounted Displays. It reduces the risk of injuries to the arms and legs (especially due to limb flail), neck, and spinal column throughout all ejection phases.
