The document describes an inter-seat sequencing system (ISS) in military aircraft that controls the ejection of seats. The ISS has a mode selector valve that can be set to SOLO, BOTH, or CMD FWD mode to determine whether the front seat, rear seat, or both eject individually or together. In SOLO mode, only the triggered seat will eject. In BOTH mode, the rear seat will eject first followed by the front seat. In CMD FWD mode, the rear seat will eject first regardless of which handle is pulled.
