No.
The radiant pad is inside the hammock under one's body. The open-cell foam pad is hung under the hammock but snug against against the hammock. The undercover then is hung under the open-cell foam pad to protect foam pad and also block heat loss from wind.
So, "on top of the hammock" = inside the hammock but under one's body while "under the hammock hangs the underpad" = "under the hammock hangs the underpad".
This is a bulky system that has been replaced, technologically, with underquilts. I don't think Hennessy offers underquilts, but many smaller vendors do provide high quality underquilts, for example

One issue with Hennessy bottom entry hammocks is that they don't mate well with underquilts save for Jacks R Better nest which is designed for a Hennessy.
