In 1974 the United States Airforce contracted H. Koch & Sons Co.’s engineering group to design the new CNU-129/P Survival Kit Container for the USAF B-52. F-5 and T-38 aircraft as well as Allied Nation ejection seat systems. In the 1950’s and 1960’s, Koch developed and produced virtually all of the rigid seat survival kits for USAF and many other Air Forces world-wide. The CNU-129/P incorporated many of the features that had proven successful in earlier kits, including the automatic deployment system which allowed an incapacitated aircrew member to effect complete seat-man separation at ejection. The new kit featured a number of redundant features which would provide the crewmember with back up provisions to ensure a successful ejection as well as providing the necessary gear for survival in nearly any environment on land or at sea. Development testing was conducted at the Navy’s International Drop Tower at El Centro, California. Thousands of these kits were produced between 1975 and 2006, when Koch’s operations were ended.
