Automatic Flight Termination

AFTS Development for Range Safety Operations

The SG901-1229 AFTU is an autonomous flight vehicle termination system designed to support the July 2017 Congressional mandate of automated range safety systems. It utilizes configurable software-based rules and data redundant GPS/IMU navigational inputs to make flight termination / destruct decisions using redundant units. It provides a lower cost, more flexible flight safety system usable at all ranges and non-range locations.

Integrated Autonomous Flight Termination Unit

In the rapidly evolving field of aerospace, ensuring the safety of flight operations is paramount. Autonomous Flight Termination Systems (AFTS) represent a significant advancement in safety protocols, offering a robust mechanism for preventing catastrophic events. These systems are designed to autonomously monitor and analyze flight parameters, making real-time decisions to terminate a flight when predetermined safety thresholds are breached. The IAFTU incorporates 10 years of autonomous flight safety system history including over fifty flights using the Sagrad AFTU.

The SG901-1250-X IAFTU is an autonomous flight termination unit designed to support the requirements of automated flight safety systems. The IAFTU utilizes configurable software-based rules and data redundant GPS/IMU navigational inputs to make flight termination/destruct decisions based upon flight boundaries during the platform operation. The IAFTU is lower cost, provides increased flexibility, while in a small and light weight package that supports Captive Carried Weapons, Vertical Launch Systems and Rail launched platforms.
