Abstract
In certain embodiments, a connection system includes a secondary latching release mechanism coupled to a lanyard release connector and a lanyard. The lanyard release connector has a primary latching release mechanism adapted to hold a complementary connector of a payload. The secondary latching release mechanism includes a mechanical forcing device that applies a force for actuating a primary latching release mechanism of the latching release connector when the mechanical forcing device is actuated by the lanyard such that the payload may be jettisoned from a vehicle.
