Series III Lanyards
MIL-DTL-38999 Series III Lanyards
Our Series III lanyard release connectors are the most highly engineered connectors of their kind. The result of over 100 different IR&D iterations, this product offers low-force releases at angles and velocities in excess of D38999. In addition we offer three different shell lengths, all QPL to D38999/31 that provides you with greater store to platform clearance and flexibility.
