About this file

This is an Item Description document for a parachute release mechanism with National Stock Number (NSN) 1377013941272ES. The item is a critical explosive component designed for aircraft emergency procedures, featuring a predominantly aluminum body containing a circuit board, lithium batteries, and an electro-explosive device. Its specific function is to activate when immersed in salt water, which completes an electrical circuit that charges a firing capacitor and triggers a ballistic output to retract pins and release a parachute from an aircraft crew.

The document was generated on 19 Mar 2024 and includes technical specifications such as dimensions (2.25" x 2.25" x 0.75"), weight (0.75 lbs), and was initiated by John D. Messina from the 784 CBSG/GJ organization. The item has a criticality code of F, demilitarization code G, and security code 7. The related federal contract opportunity is a sole-source solicitation (FA821335R3032) for UWARS Parachute Release Cartridges, with proposals due by 24 Jul 2025, to be submitted to the Department of the Air Force Materiel Command Lifecycle Management Center at Hill Air Force Base.
