An ejection seat system is described. The ejection seat system includes a seat frame for supporting an aircraft occupant. The seat frame includes one or more of a ballast material or an auto-inflating unit. By the ballast material or the auto-inflating unit, the seat frame may be positively buoyant in saltwater or freshwater for improved recovery of the seat frame. The ballast material may include one or more of a gas or foam. The auto-inflating unit may include one or more of a pump or a gas cartridge. Such flotation means may be included within an internal void of one or more of a seat bucket or a seat back of the seat frame.
