Safety:
Less sensitive to sparks & electromagnetic spikes
No hazardous temperatures generated or required
Non-instant activation delays
Preparation:
Faster and easier preparation than pyros
Less chance of damaging critical expendable parts (eg. Ematch installation)
Less anxiety for the preparation (once you’re familiarized with it)
Reliability:
No expendable pyrotechnic devices to be connected and installed
Option for thorough ground testing reusable device to dramatically reduce or
eliminate the requirement for redundancy
Not affected by low static operating pressures like BP so no modifications necessary
for high altitude flights.
Regulatory:
No hazardous or dangerous or regulated parts required
Potentially less compliance work required for projects/facilities that require stringent
requirements for pyrotechnic devices eg, government/defence operated ranges.
