A system 12 for selecting an ejection mode on an aircraft may include an egress actuator 20, a ballistic signal system 18 operatively connected to the egress actuator, and a processor 26 operatively connected to the ballistic signal system and the egress actuator. The processor may be configured to receive, from an aircraft controller 14, a flight characteristic, and select, based on the flight characteristic, an ejection mode from two ejection modes. The processor may be further configured to receive a pilot egress command 22 from the ballistic signal system, and transmit, to the egress actuator, a signal to actuate the ejection mode from the two ejection modes. The two modes may comprise a canopy jettison system and a canopy fracture system.
