The deployment of a hot air suspended flare system is enhanced by a time delay venting and destruct system. As the balloon is deployed with the aid of a drogue chute, a lanyard attached to the chute extracts a safety wire from a firing device which ignites a length of safety fuze proportioned to ignite a first segment of stranded propellant after a predetermined time for cutting a vent in the balloon and at the same time igniting a second proportioned length of safety fuze. The second length of safety fuze, in turn, ignites a second pattern of stranded propellant which completely destroys the lifting power of the balloon.
