Abstract
A control system to control ejection of an ejection seat includes a sensor configured to measure ejection environment parameters at time of ejection from an aircraft and a controller in signal communication with the sensor. The controller receives the ejection environment parameters and stores an ejection sequence operable according to a plurality of different ejection sequence modes. The controller determines a weight of an occupant seated in the ejection seat and a target ejection sequence mode among the plurality of different ejection sequence modes based on the ejection environment parameters and the weight of the occupant. The controller executes the ejection sequence according to the target ejection sequence mode to eject the ejection seat and safely recover the occupant.
