Product Description

As the leading designer and manufacturer of a range of highly effective safety systems used in emergency situations, including space and aircraft crew egress and vehicle apprehension, both military and commercial programs depend upon our reliability.

Our Aerospace & Defense System

Underwater Emergency Egress System

The Underwater Emergency Egress System (UEES) is a severance device to support pilots and crew needing to escape from inside a helicopter underwater.

Product Description

The Underwater Emergency Egress System (UEES) is a severance assembly device to support pilots and crew needing to escape from inside a helicopter underwater. Our system is qualified and in the process of implementation into the Apache AH-64 Apache.

Thermally Initiated Venting System (TIVS)

Self-detonation of any missile or a solid rocket motor is not only a dangerous occurrence, it is completely unacceptable. If our Thermally Initiated Venting System’s sensor is exposed to a programmed thermal criteria, the system will begin the initiation of an explosive train. The explosive train will detonate a linear shaped charge, which in turn, will cut a vent in the missile, rocket motor or payload and restore the device to a compliant insensitive munitions device.

Product Description

Safety is at the center of our TIVS while merging new energetic technology & proven legacy devices for easy to implement solutions. With a thermal sensor, responding to thermal criteria, our system initiates in a precisely controlled manner. On command, when commanded.

Our TIVS will start an explosive initiation train when commanded by the thermal sensor. This ignition train provides a detonation transfer to Linear Shaped Charge, which will cut a vent in the missile, warhead, payload or rocket motor system to execute compliance with Insensitive Munitions.

Satellite Payload Release & Sequencing

Product Description

Our payload release and satellite sequencing system deploys hundreds of vehicles with microsecond repeat-ability and sub-millisecond sequencing. And… with our high reliability and our precision timing… be assured of no satellite tip offs. Our satellite separation system ensures the satellites remain in place securely from launch until the precise time they are meant to be released into orbit. With over 1000 satellite payload release separations occurring with 100% success rate. The modular components of our system enable compatibility with almost any dispenser, launcher and satellite on the market.

On March 21, 2020 PacSci EMC proudly participated in the successful deployment of 34 satellites into Low Earth Orbit (LEO). The release of these satellites from the launch vehicle dispenser structure is a precision operation choreographed by our Payload Release Sequencing System (PRSS). To date the PacSci EMS PRSS has successfully sequenced 4,000 on orbit events to successfully deploy 500 satellites.

What may be less well known is how PacSci EMC came to develop the PRSS technology. With the growing use of airbags in the 1980s and 1990s, the automotive industry established a consortium of companies to develop communication & sequencing protocol. A safe-by-wire technology was developed to initiate the growing number of airbags found in modern vehicles. Ultimately the technology was deemed too expensive for the high volume production of the automotive industry. PacSci EMC recognized the potential application for the technology in the aerospace industry and acquired the intellectual property in 2001. For use in aerospace application, we branded the technology as Smart Energetic Architecture (SEA).

Since 2001, PacSci EMC has successfully implemented SEA technology in numerous applications. For the deployment of large satellite constellations, Smart Energetic Architecture offers many advantages

Flight Termination System

Product Description

Whether on a missile, a rocket launching satellites or an unmanned Aircraft Vehicle (UAV) flight termination system, all our FTS products are configured, tested and qualified to the requirements of your range and program. They are designed to effectively protect a system and will prevent inadvertent initiation of a Flight Destruct/Termination System (FTS) or rocket motor ignition. They will work only on command and when commanded. Our excellent working relationships with ranges across the United States enables us to tailor safety requirements governed by Range Safety at these facilities.

Divert Attitude Control System (DACS)

Product Description

A solid propellant Divert Attitude Control System (DACS) is a quick reaction propulsion system providing control over positions of missiles, satellites, and spacecraft. Regarding missiles, whether a ballistic measure, counter measure or defensive measure, DACS allows for interception of its target with greater accuracy and reliability.
