UNIVERSAL WATER ACTIVATED RELEASE SYSTEM (UWARS)
If aircrew members are unconscious or injured, they cannot manually disconnect their parachutes. Aircrew may become entangled in the shroud lines and drown. The parachute may act as a sail, dragging the aircrew member across the water or fill with water and become a sea anchor, pulling the crew member under. Survival depends upon fast separation from the parachute. Water activated parachute releases save lives.
