Abstract
The latest expertise in escape systems was shown on the Martin‐Baker stand at the Paris Show, highlighted by the company's Mk 14 which is the world's first microprocessor controlled electronic ejection seat. Currently undergoing testing is the variant for the United States Navy Aircrew Common Ejection Seat (NACES) programme, which will be standard equipment for the F/A Hornet, F‐14 Tomcat, T‐45 Goshawk and A6F Intruder. Versions are also being proposed for the European Figh‐ter Aircraft, French Rafale B and the USAF Advanced tactical Fighter.
