A control system 200, method and article of manufacture for an ejection system (10, fig 1A) comprising a controller 202 and a tangible, non-transitory memory designed to communicate with the controller and create a time delay. The memory has instructions stored on it so that, in response to execution by the controller, the controller has to perform operations including; receiving an eject command, polling a sensor 204 for sensor data, receiving the sensor data, passing the sensor data to a time delay logic 208, determining a time delay based on the sensor data and commanding actuation of the ejection seat based on a time delay. The controller may further perform the operations of; receiving a mode select command from a control interface, passing the mode select command to a mode select logic, determining via the mode select logic an ejection mode, passing the ejection mode a the time delay logic, selecting the time delay based on the ejection mode and commanding actuation of a canopy Jettison system 212 based on the ejection mode.
