The Mark 5 Powered Ejection seat gives the pilot an ability he never had before. With this ejection seat a downed pilot can now safely travel away from enemy territory to avoid capture. The para sail chute and propeller allow the seat to travel several hundred miles away from the initial point. If the chute or seat is disabled by additional gunfire, the pilot can separate if needed. While based on the X-25, the Mark 5 is much lighter and less complicated allowing it to be used in many types of aircraft. The mk5 increases the chance your pilot will be picked up by your search and rescue, and not become a POW.

Full Spectrum Close-In Layered Active Shield (FCLAS),
FCLAS is now included free with most armored vehicles and ships. The Phoenix Dynamix FCLAS features a canister loading system and fires from a single barrel. The FCLAS system uses 4 or more canister launchers tied into a combined RADAR/LADAR sensor system, computer controlled this system will detect and calculate the approach speed of a projectile, like a cruise missile, anti-tank missile or even a free-flight rocket. It then lobs the FCLAS projectile out at a specified trajectory, again computer controlled. The round bursts in the air at exactly the right moment, ensuring 80% of the time the warhead
of the incoming missile explodes.

Faraday Cages
ALL Phoenix Dynamix vehicles have key components encased in faraday cages, along with additional conductive and counter-conductive shielding. This is in addition to the emp-resistant precautions taken when the vehicles themselves were originally engineered and built.
A faraday cage is essentially a cage placed around sensitive electronics designed to prevent electromagnetic waves and pulses from nuclear or other types of EMP weapons from damaging the hardware. Even the type of wave created by Flux-Compression Generation is minimized by this and is also protective against RF and EMI.
