Networked Electronic Ordnance & Devices

Truly Extraordinary Benefits.

Product Description

We develop and manufacture SEA™ Network solutions with the latest innovative technology.

You count on an electronic ordnance pioneer to take innovative technology to the next level with our Smart Energetics Architecture (SEA™). SEA™ eliminates discrete wires from each initiator and detonator to the controller by using a bus network for a large number of rapidly sequential firings without the need for heavy, separate and often dedicated ordnance batteries and cables.

The benefits are truly extraordinary: next-generation, safe firing and control systems that enable rapid and repeatable ignition, unit health monitoring, and lower system weight and energy requirements for pyrotechnic events. And the possibilities for adaptation are limitless, including attitude and divert control systems for missiles, satellites and projectiles and event sequencing of aircraft emergency egress systems as well as space launch and separation events.

Our Networked Electronic Ordnance & Devices

Key Features

Networked Electronic Ordnance & Devices are Extremely Efficient

  • Smart Bus Controller
  • Smart Initiator: Provides output equivalent to a NASA Standard Initiator (NSI) and can be tailored according to requirements.
  • Smart Detonator: Provides output and size equivalent to PSEMC standard Detonators
  • Smart Controller, Single or Dual: Provides the ability to interface legacy ordnance devices with SEA™
  • Smart Thruster: Provides fast reacting, energetic burst of energy to affect a controlled directional change of a vehicle/projectile

Interface

Go Digital with Minimum System Impact

Networked electronic ordnance devices incorporate an FPGA, bus driver Application Specific Integrated Circuit (ASIC) and a slave (ASIC). All of the ordnance devices are wired in parallel on a bus, which supplies both data and power. The system features extensive diagnostics, low power operation and very low EMI. A variety of electrical connections and pressure outputs can be provided to meet customer’s specific design performance requirements. This allows many conventional pyrotechnic devices to be replaced by SEA™ system devices with minimal system impact. If your system requires a progressive, digital system, SEA™ is that system.
