About Military CYPRES 2

For training mode a simple switch on before boarding enhances parachuting safety for the next 14 hours to come. By using the unique simplicity of handling, we minimize a potential error input by the stressed soldier. As long as on the ground the electronic processing unit automatically compensates for pressure changes, which are caused by the weather, frequently within its functioning period. The CYPRES senses take off and acceleration of the aircraft and starts to monitor any action made by the parachutist. The soldier can focus his full concentration on the mission at hand.


When it comes to the mission the Military CYPRES 2 shows its superior technology. It can be switched on to operational mode even during flight in an active pressurized cabin and can be set for any target - with the ease of the extremely comfortable one button handling.


The system is an independent back up safety system that will not interfere or restrict the normal parachuting activity. It is designed to activate in emergency situations where the parachutist is not able to perform the proper procedures. The mission objective is not endangered.


CYPRES acts on pressure inputs to the sensing unit, speed and altitude transducers generate the activation criteria. Depending on the CYPRES model in use, it will activate at various preset altitudes when speed exceeds a given setting.


The reserve activation is initiated by the EOS release unit (cutter). This cutter simply severs the closing loop of the reserve container and allows to begin the reserve deployment sequence. This unique activation method was invented and patented by Helmut Cloth the founder of Airtec in 1987. Since 1991 this method is state of the art in AAD technology.


We are proud to say that thru this date we have recorded more than 3000 lives saved.

Features

TARGET SETTING

For tactical applications in remote areas, the Military CYPRES activation altitude can be preset easily on ground, or in flight, or even in a pressurized cabin. A CYPRES Calculator is available, helping to convert and acquire pressure values. A useful tool, supplied free of charge

FACTORY MAINTENANCE

At the factory, various tests will check the CYPRES system entirely. Linearity, calibration, hardware inspection and hard- and software updates will be implemented. The maintenance due date is accessible from the external display. CYPRES automatically reminds of next maintenance. US and EUROPE based Service facilities ensure low costs and down time. No technical maintenance personell required from the user end.

LONGER SERVICE TIME

For units with DOM 12/15 and earlier the maintenance is mandatory to be performed 4 and 8 years after the original DOM. Service Life is 12.5 years. For units made in 2016 the maintenance can be performed on a voluntary basis 4 and 8 years after original DOM. Service Life is 12.5 years. For units with DOM 01/17 and later the maintenance can be performed on a voluntary basis 5 and 10 years after the original DOM. Service Life is 15.5 years.
