The Hungarian Defence Forces Faces the Inauguration Process of a New Type of Personnel Airborne Troop Parachute, Part IV.

Comparison of the Possible ‘Pretenders’ from the Point of View of Future Appliers: The Examination of the Automatic Activation Device

Abstract

The objective of my serial study is to highlight the necessity of introduction of a new personnel airborne  troop parachute system in the Hungarian  Defence Forces (HDF) and of course it also makes a  proposal for the process of the procurement. In the  first part of my study I introduced the widely used  modern conventional personnel airborne troop  parachute systems, the short development stories of  them. I observed the technical datas and  characteristics of the possible types of the main and  the reserve parachutes in the second and the third  parts of my study, according to the so called ‘Classical Triple’ method. In the fourth part of my  study I examine the possible types of the automatic  activation devices mounted on the imagined reserve  parachute types.
