Smart Initiator

Smart Initiator

Product Description

With a 100% success rate for satellite releases in orbit today, our smart initiator has truly proven itself. The smart initiator, with output equivalents equal to a NASA Standard Initiator, contains a small microelectronic board with a unique address. A digital command is sent over a data bus from the initiation controller, or Smart Controller, the smart initiator will then arm and fire only on command, when commanded.

Basically, a smart initiator has a chip embedded into it which in turn will synchronize and control massive events.

Smart Initiator Heritage

Based on the 103377-32 and 103377-500, our smart initiator has a legacy dating back to 1976 with over 1,000,000 initiators delivered and 400 different variants.

SEA™ Interface

Smart Controller

Product Description

Our SEA™ Interface is a “Smart” low power networked ordnance command & control architecture containing smart pyro devices & digital sequencing

  • Built-in-Test (BIT) improves reliability & helps ensure mission success
  • Eliminates bulky cabling and heavy, separate ordnance batteries
  • Compatible w/existing avionics systems

SEA™ Interface is derived from high reliability automotive safety technology – blending COTS, Auto & Aerospace capabilities. and inherently affords a huge savings in weight, power and wire complexity over the more traditional dedicated ordnance batteries and individually wired devices. Compatible with existing avionics systems, SEA Technology architecture can provide a variety of electrical signals and pressure outputs, enabling the system integrator to incorporate very robust diagnostics and health monitoring features in retrofit and design update applications as well as new system design.
