ABSTRACT:
A dual system for ballistic deployment of a parachute (40) caused by explosion of a powder charge (54) to propel a projectile (52) away from an air vehicle, pulling the parachute (40) away from the air vehicle and allowing the parachute to inflate free of the air vehicle. The powder charge (54) is exploded alternatively by the pilot pulling a pull handle (12) to send an igniting current to fire cap (55), or by the pilot pulling handle (70) to activate a spring driven firing pin (80) to fire cap (82); the firing of cap (55) or the firing of cap (82) will explode the powder charge (54).
