Energetics
Advanced energetics, engineered in-house.
Our energetics division develops specialised propulsion and energetic systems for UAV applications, including the in-house design and development of Rocket-Assisted Take-Off (RATO) systems and warhead technologies, supported by dedicated engineering, integration and testing capabilities.
What we develop
Rocket-Assisted Take-Off (RATO)
In-house designed and developed RATO systems that let fixed-wing UAVs launch from confined sites without runways, matched to each airframe's mass and launch envelope.
Warhead technologies
Design, development and integration of warhead systems for loitering munitions and strike platforms, with dedicated safety, arming and testing processes.
Specialised propulsion
Energetic and propulsion systems tailored to UAV missions, from boosters to sustainers, engineered alongside the airframe rather than bolted on afterwards.
Engineering, integration and test
Dedicated energetics engineering, integration and test capability, so every system is qualified in-house before it reaches the flight line.
Integrated with our air systems
Energetics as part of the whole system.
Because propulsion, energetics, airframe and guidance are developed under one roof, launch systems and effects are designed with the aircraft from day one. Programme details are shared with qualified partners under agreement.
