OUR EXPERTISE
PacSci EMC is the designer, qualifier, manufacturer and field support of the CADs, PADs, EEDs and linear products in todays’ modern aircraft safety systems. Our experience, reliability and collaborative working relationship with government, prime fixed wing, and rotor aircraft contractors is demonstrated in the number of safety systems we influence. Our product lines are found in the following aircraft market segments (mouse over to learn more):
EMERGENCY ESCAPE SYSTEMS
Providing emergency ground, in-flight sub-systems and components for fixed wing and helicopters. This includes: canopy, hatch and transparency removal, escape system initiation, event sequencing and ejection seat cartridges.
FIRE EXTINGUISHING CARTRIDGES (FIRE EX)
Rapid and fast-acting, our cartridges are qualified to MIL-DTL-23659 and MIL-D-21625C for Type III service release. These qualifications allow you to operate with complete confidence and focus on the mission at hand.
STORES/LOAD RELEASE
Aircraft external stores release, operationally and in an emergency. Providing the means to release mission-critical devices, including missiles, weapons or the jettison of a pylon or fuel tank in the event of an emergency.
COUNTERMEASURES
Reliable initiation of chaff and flare devices that provide unrivaled protection of helicopter, transport and fighter aircraft.
EMERGENCY FLOTATION
Fly with confidence with our initiating flotation systems that will ensure the aircrew safely returns to the ground.
OUR COMMITMENT
Our dedicated team designs and applies the most advanced technology providing pilots, aircrew and passengers the safest possible exit from any aircraft in an emergency.
Our products meet the requirements of JSSG-2010-3, MIL-C-83124, MIL-C-83125, MIL-STD-810, MIL-STD-882, MIL-STD-1472 and MIL-HDBK-781 and multiple customer SOW’s and specifications.
MILITARY & COMMERCIAL AIRCRAFT TECHNOLOGIES
CADs
Cartridge Actuated Devices
We provide a full suite of Cartridge Actuated Devices (CADs), which have been a part of every successful launch into space.
EEDs
Electro-Explosive Devices
Our initiators and electro explosive devices are mission critical, when working the first time is the ONLY option.
Linear
Explosive Transfer Lines (ETLs)
We have embraced our global leadership role to progressively replace our lead-sheathed linear explosives with environmentally conscious materials.
PADs
Propellant Actuated Devices
PacSci EMC – with our extensive lab capabilities, world-renowned chemists, and ability to meet extremely tight performance parameters – leads the way in the design, manufacture, and delivery of PAD energetic materials across the globe.
WHITE PAPERS AND CAPABILITY BRIEFS
Failure investigation identified decomposition of Nitrocellulose/Nitroglycerine (NC/NG) double base propellant used in Bullseye propellant. This occurred during temperature cycling where the temperature was held at +95°C (+203°F) for 16 hours.
RDX loading density of greater than 98% TMD (3) created conditions for recrystallization of RDX (from released occluded cyclohexanone) into large crystal structures. These large RDX crystal structures are void less, therefore not allowing Hot Spots for a shock stimulus to generate the conditions needed to start and sustain a chemical reaction.
PacSci EMC uses a variety of methods to calculate system reliability, including trade studies, mathematical modeling, in-depth analyses and rigorous testing.
At PacSci EMC, our safety practices and programs are the best of the best, ensuring that your deliverables and business continuity won’t be interrupted by safety incidents.
