5. System Overview
Provides off the shelf ballistic initiators to replace laser obsolescence
Ballistic system prevalent in other USG platforms with proven reliability and cost effectiveness
Fiber Optic Harness replaced by TLX Lines
Development complete and retrofit to commence upon attrition of SMDLs
FINAL Approved: Case Number 75ABW Approved for Public Release. Distribution Statement A: distribution unlimited

6. System Description Forward Subsystem: (functions as current system)
SMDI initiates canopy fracture system (CFS) upon seat motion
Redundant path via transfer block
ICI activated manually to fracture canopy
Aft Subsystem: (functions as current system)
SMDI initiates overhead CFS only
ICI activates overhead and periphery CFS
No change above the canopy sill, acceptor/donor assemblies, or Canopy Fracture Explosive System (CFES)
