Smaller that other HRUs currently available, breakthrough is unique in its use of a small pyrotechnic charge, which is used to enable liferafts and EPIRBs to automatically float free.Using technology developed exclusively by Pains-Wessex, the pyrotechnic charge is used to activate the HRU when it is submerged in water < 13 feet. Once activated the liferaft or EPIRB is automatically released - it’s as simple as that!
