Pyrotechnic Design

Pyrotechnics are the energy source for many mechanisms associated with parachutes and airbag landing systems.

We have designed a range of pyrotechnic based devices such as parachute deployment mortars, release and separation mechanisms. The team also has experience in the design of small rocket motors.
