Parachutes: Automatic Activation Device

The Military CYPRES 2 1000/35A is a parachute Automatic Activation Device which initiates reserve deployment in emergency situations. It has an activation altitude of approx. 1,000 ft above the DZ when a vertical speed of approx. 35 m/s (78mph) and greater is achieved.

This model is designed for versatile military use and is recommended for solo jumps carrying very light or no equipment. The activation setting reflects the short opening distance of smaller tactical square parachutes. It can also be used on the bundle for MTTB jumps. Consult with the manufacturer of your parachute/container system for additional assistance.

The Changeable Mode CYPRES 2 is a parachute Automatic Activation Device that initiates reserve deployment in emergency situations. It is a 4 in 1 solution that can be configured in the field to have the same activation parameters as the Sport models of CYPRES 2 (Expert, Student, Tandem or Speed).

Manufactured by LB Altimeters, the ALFA is a digital visual altimeter serving the needs of military jumpers.

Constructed with aircraft-grade aluminum and a large hi-def LCD screen, the ALFA delivers enhanced durability, superior engineering, accuracy, and many other features. Paired with the ECHO, it makes the perfect altitude awareness system.

With the ALTISET II, a jumpmaster or mission commander can conveniently program the mBar to the same reading for a small group or an entire load of jumpers via the IR receiver on the ALFA.

Manufactured by LB Altimeters, the ECHO is an audible altimeter serving the needs of military jumpers.

Constructed with aircraft-grade aluminum and a large hi-def LCD screen, the ECHO delivers enhanced durability, superior engineering, accuracy, and many other features. It contains 3 warning banks, each with 4 warnings. Paired with the ALFA, it makes the perfect altitude awareness system.

With the ALTISET II, a jumpmaster or mission commander can conveniently program the mBar and warning altitudes to the same reading for a small group or an entire load of jumpers via the IR receiver on the ECHO.

Manufactured by LB Altimeters, the Military ALTITRACK has an analog display and the accuracy of a digital altimeter serving the needs of military jumpers.

Constructed with aircraft-grade aluminum, the Military ALTITRACK delivers enhanced durability, superior engineering, an OLED display on the front, LCD screen on the back, and many other features. Paired with the ECHO, it makes the perfect altitude awareness system.

With the ALTISET II, a jumpmaster or mission commander can conveniently program the mBar to the same reading for a small group or an entire load of jumpers via the IR receiver on the Military ALTITRACK.

The Military ALTIRACK comes standard with a Curved Arm Mount.

The ALTISET II is a handheld IR remote that provides a quick and convenient method to program settings for the ALFA, ECHO, and Military ALTITRACK altimeters.

It allows the Jump Master to set mission-specific requirements and scan each device, giving greater control and reducing the chance of errors. It is optional, yet highly recommended, accessory. Since one device can control every altimeter on the jump plane, only a small number of ALTISET II's are needed at various locations.

The X-Shut SPIDER Cockpit is a multifunctional attachment system for HAHO navigation devices and opens unprecedented possibilities for tactical HAHO applications.

We have device adapters for all Tactical LB Altimeters and offer a high-quality compass with an adjustable backlight. A wide array of device adapters are available for commonly used items. In addition to Garmin GPS adapters, we have our very own GPS, ParaTrack, specifically designed for HAHO jumps. In addition to classic instrumentation, the modular SPIDER system allows the capability to attach an oxygen control valve, lights, transponder, radio, weapons, and other devices.

The SPIDER arms can be folded in for freefall and shortly before landing. The X-Shut SPIDER is used for other applications on the ground as well such as mounting tablets for convenient use.

The X-Shut SNAKE Cockpit is a lightweight tactical HAHO navigation system and a more basic solution than the X-Shut SPIDER Cockpit. It has a built-in compass with on/off backlight and GoPro attachment. A cutout allows the attachment of the LB ALFA, among other LB Altimeters. Multiple adapter options are available for commonly used Garmin GPS's.

The X-Shut BASE can be attached to our options of carrier plates and harness or directly to MOLLE equipment, such as armored vests. The SNAKE struts allow the navigation board to be folded in for freefall and shortly before landing.

ParaTrack is a GPS navigation device designed specifically for tactical HAHO operations. The core focus of the design is based on simplicity and intentionally not overload it with features. The unique semi-circle LED display guides you to your target without the need for a full map display. It's as easy as that. At moments where a jumper is confronted with difficult weather conditions and focused on the mission at hand, it is essential to not struggle with complex instrumentation.

The Military CYPRES 2 1500/35A is a parachute Automatic Activation Device that initiates reserve deployment in emergency situations. It has an activation altitude of approx. 1,500 ft above the DZ when a vertical speed of approx. 35 m/s (78mph) and greater is achieved.

This model is designed for various applications using tactical canopies and higher payload. It is recommended for multi-mission solo operation jumps with or without drogue deployment systems. The increased activation altitude of 1500 ft is appropriate for a larger opening distance of the majority of tactical canopies in the field. It can also be used on the bundle for MTTB jumps. Consult with the manufacturer of your parachute/container system for additional assistance.

The Military CYPRES 2 2500/29A is a parachute Automatic Activation Device that initiates reserve deployment in emergency situations. It has an activation altitude of approx. 2,500 ft above the DZ when a vertical speed of approx. 29 m/s (65mph) and greater is achieved.

The Military CYPRES 2 2500/29A is recommended for 'heavy' (two jumpers with full combat equipment) tandem and MTTB (bundle) operations. The activation altitude of 2,500 ft addresses large size parachute deployment and heavy loads. The activation speed of 29 m/s is adjusted to the slower fall rate under a large drogue after the cutaway of the bundle load. For the bundle delivery parachute, we recommend a vertical separation of 1000 ft. minimum. A combination with the 1500/35A or 1000/35A model would be our recommendation. Consult with the manufacturer of your parachute/container system for additional assistance.

The Expert CYPRES 2 is a parachute Automatic Activation Device that initiates reserve deployment in emergency situations. It is the most commonly used model among sport skydivers as it meets the demands of a wide range of jumpers.

The Expert CYPRES 2 activates the cutter when it detects a descent rate higher than 78mpg (35m/s) at an approximate default altitude of 750 ft (225m) above ground level (AGL). As with all Sport (civilian) CYPRES models, there is a feature that allows the user to increase the activation altitude setting if desired.
