A landing inflation system may include a compressed gas source, an airbag assembly fluidly coupled to the compressed gas source and configured to receive compressed gas, and a command processor configured to: (1) generate an inflation initiation command signal in response to an initiation signal, (2) generate an inflation cessation command signal in response to a nominal fill pressure signal, and (3) generate a vent command signal in response to an impact pressure signal.
