A payload ejection system is provided for ejecting a payload from a transpo rt vehicle. The system has an ejector mechanism for applying an ejection force to the payload to urge the payload away from the transport vehicle, and a release mechanism for releasing the payload from a restrained state. The release mechanism has a payload mounting bolt for holding the payload in the restrained state, and an actuator that fractures the mounting bolt. The actuator has a shape memory alloy, and an activator that transform s the shape memory alloy from a compressed state to an elongated state. The actuator fractures the mounting bolt as the shape memory alloy transforms into the elongated shape.
