Defence Missiles Actuating Circuit opening / closing

High Pressure Multiway Valve

Pyroalliance designs and manufactures high pressure multiway valves for missile applications.

These complex hight pressure multiway valves, constituted of several ways, operate as a pyrotechnically triggered pneumatic distributor allowing the supply of pneumatic pressure to each of its ways.

3-way valves

The hight pressure multiway valves are designed to perform a tailored sequence of actions among which circuit opening, circuit closing, mechanical actuation…

 

Based on onboard available pneumatic pressure, a series of pyrotechnic orders successively triggers the required functions, thus combining several pyro-mechanisms in one single equipment.

 

More generally, Pyroalliance delivers complete pyrotechnic chains adapted to its customers’ needs. They are designed and manufactured under Pyroalliance’s design authority.

Benefits of pyrotechnics

  • Several functions on a single valve,
  • Sealing before and after operation,
  • Very quick functioning time,
  • Low energy for ignition of initiator,
  • Energy stored onboard (energetic material).

Defence applications

  • Various complex missile actuation sequences
