Gas generators

Pyroalliance designs and manufactures a large portfolio of gas generators used in missile systems architectures.

They correspond to a very large variety of use cases and therefore cover a wide spectrum of performance specifications.

Gas generators at a glance

Benefits of pyrotechnics

  • Pyroalliance covers the widest range of possible Gas Generators for missile applications, covering functioning times from a few milliseconds to several seconds and energetic masses up to several kilograms. This allows covering a very large range of applications as listed below.
  • Thanks to its wide portfolio of qualified technologies, Pyroalliance is capable of adapting the closest already existing design to specific new application needs.

Defence applications

  • Motorization of a pyro-mechanism (ram, piston, door opening actuator, etc.)
  • Pyrotechnic ignition of a larger Gas Generator
  • Ignition of a turbo-engine
  • Acceleration of a turbofan
  • Motorization of a dispersion system
