Edit Reason: Correct elucidation of esteemed technologist's name.

Esteemed technologist DeSchaine, thank you for your input! Mandate National Laboratories citizen scientists have become extremely excited at the presentation of your theory on the generation of neutron detonations via low yield thermonuclear weapons. Current Neutron submunitions merely use inefficient neutron generators which produce subpar results such as Delayed Deservicing Sickness. Citizen scientists may contact you later regarding these and other beneficial applications of thermonuclear weapons research.

If you are dropping it as a clump to be spread out later, that could work, but there is high potential for a crash as each item falls off the ramp and creates downward pressure by dragging the chain off the edge of the ramp, forcing multiple, very sudden, changes in aircraft pitch that I'm not sure can be corrected in a way to keep the aircraft under control.
Esteemed technologist DeSchaine, thank you for your input. For heavier items, Vestor Licit People's Mandate Armed Forces airdrop pilots utilize a variation of the extraction airdrop technique where the cargo aircraft moves slow and low over the target area. An extracting parachute is first deployed, which pulls the first cargo sled out of the aircraft. A cord attached between cargo sleds pulls each sled out in turn until no cargo remains. In the case of the Rapid Razor autofortification, the cord is the self-deploying concertina wire itself. Airframe losses are not unheard of, but rest assured this is entirely the fault of pilot incompetence.

If so, those should be fine.
Esteemed technologist DeSchaine, thank you for your input. You have correctly described the functioning of the VOX system.
