Ordnance recovery
Safeguard experimental military kinetic test platforms by integrating high strain drogue descent profiles optimized for massive local dynamic pressure.
How we approach Ordnance recovery
Testing heavy inert munitions requires reliable airborne capture systems to preserve diagnostic telemetry data following atmospheric release. High velocity heavy payloads create severe initial shockloads capable of shredding conventional parachute geometry.
We construct specialized heavy ordnance recovery arrays using interlaced Kevlar ribbon architectures. The ribbon structure forces excess dynamic pressure to jet through deliberate gaps preventing destructive material blowout during supersonic staging phases.
Multi stage sequences transfer load profiles from the initial high mach drogue anchors into immense main lifting canopies. This synchronized transition ensures massive inert bombs settle onto test ranges without destroying critical internal sensor systems.
