HOLLISTER, Calif.-Thursday 19 March 2020 [ AETOS Wire ]
(BUSINESS WIRE)--
Pacific Scientific Energetic Materials Company (California), LLC.
(PacSci EMC) announced today the execution of a Memorandum of
Understanding with Space Information Laboratories (SIL) to provide
plug-and-play Autonomous Flight Termination Systems (AFTS) for launch
vehicles, missiles, hypersonic vehicles, reentry vehicles, strike
weapons and unmanned aerial systems. PacSci EMC Safe and Arm high
voltage electronics will be integrated with the SIL Vehicle Based
Independent Tracking System (VBITS) AFTU with internal GPS L1/L2
Receivers, IMU, together in a Consolidated Avionics® unit with reduced
Space, Weight and Power (SWAP) requirements. Attributes include open,
modular, stackable and reconfigurable (OMSR) avionics.
“SIL
has very unique, leading-edge technology for the AFSS mission that when
combined with the PacSci EMC flight qualified ordnance flight
termination system provides a low cost, comprehensive solution for this
critical need,” said Greg Scaven, President, PacSci EMC. “The AFSS
architecture is RCC-319 compliant with the flexibility and safety
necessary for platform success, and the system can be customized for
unique applications.”
SIL
is a leading provider of high-end Li-Ion Polymer Intelli-Pack®
Avionics/Telemetry and FTS Batteries, VBITS GPS Tracking and Autonomous
Flight Termination Systems (AFTS), Space Based Range, and Consolidated
Avionics® flight units for DoD programs of national significance.
Originally developed in 2006, VBITS has successfully flown many times
without loss of GPS receiver lock and this heritage is being leveraged.
SIL’s patented Vehicles Based Independent Range System (VBIRS) will
track, destroy and send high data rate BLOS telemetry without the need
for ground range instrumentation Radar, Flight Termination and/or
Telemetry Systems, and thus greatly reduces launch, and weapon system
test and evaluation, costs.
Edmund
Burke, President of Space Information Laboratories, said: “I am very
impressed with PacSci EMC’s broad product offering and technical
capabilities. They rapidly filled a need for us that will result in
accelerated growth.”
