Universal water activated release

Eaton’s universal water activated release system (UWARS) is a battery operated, seawater activated electro-explosive device that automatically separates the parachute canopy from the aircrew member upon immersion in seawater. The compact and self-contained canopy release system does not interfere with manual operations of release fittings and is completely symmetrical and interchangeable between the right and left risers. UWARS fits all current versions of aircrew harness releases and installs in-line with no special tools.

Características principais

  • Self-contained unit requiring no scheduled or preventative maintenance except for BIT.
  • Installed battery service life of 2 years, a recommended service life of 6 years and a shelf life of 9 years
