An enhanced automatic activation device (EAAD) is provided. The EAAD includes a housing; a plurality of environmental sensors disposed within the housing; a connection to a reserve canopy deployment mechanism, the connection being disposed at least partially within the housing; and a processor coupled to the plurality of environmental sensors and the connection. The processor is configured to execute a machine learning process. The machine learning process is configured to classify environmental data from the plurality of environmental sensors into either a first group associated with nominal deployment of a main canopy of a parachute rig or a second group associated with failed deployment of the main canopy of the parachute rig. The processor is also configured to transmit a signal to the reserve canopy deployment mechanism where the machine learning process classifies the environmental data within the second group.

Disclosed is a guided mannequin aerial unit. The mannequin includes a control unit having a central processing unit (CPU), memory for storing a computer software instruction set for execution by the CPU, a high-resolution camera for taking and providing to the CPU real time images of the drop area and a second memory unit for pre-storing images of the mannequin drop area and the drop target. Under the control of the software instruction set, the CPU compares the real time images to the pre-stored images to guide the mannequin to the drop target.

Systems, methods and apparatus configured for optimizing a JMPI process introducing an easily visible worn device with an interactive authentication mechanism, illustratively, a keypad for entering a jumpmaster code or a fingerprint authentication device for obtaining a jumpmaster fingerprint. Following the completion of a JMPI, the jumpmaster signs their inspection with the code or fingerprint on a student's device for record keeping. Once recorded, in some embodiments a green LED, one of two, is illuminated. The process repeats for a second JMPI and a second green LED is illuminated. The two illuminated LEDs on a parachutist's wearable indicate to the jumpmaster that the parachutist has been inspected twice and may continue to jump. Each wearable is connected via wired or wireless means to a computing device in the manifest office, where records of each JMPI are kept, and where the JMPI status of each lift may be visualized.
