Abstract

An inflatable system includes a first charge distributed within an inflatable component and a housing body connected to the first charge including a second charge and an initiator. Upon receiving a signal from a sensor, the initiator ignites the first charge and the second charge simultaneously. The first charge inflates the inflatable component and the second charge sustains the inflation.
