Cockpit Ejection System

The Cockpit Ejection System is a system that disengages the cockpit from the knightmare using rocket boosters, typically they additionally have an IFF Transponder installed. It can be manually activated, or if the knightmare sensors believe that the pilots life is in danger, it will automatically activate. When the cockpit is disengaged, the head of the unit that is mounted on the cockpit is detached. These are installed to allow the pilot(s) to escape life-threatening situations that may occur, such as their knightmare being severely damaged to the point that it is likely to explode. After the rocket boosters finish firing it can activate its parachutes.
