Impact Initiation System

The RISE‑1 Impact Initiation System is a smart, battle‑proven initiation solution designed to turn FPV drones and other loitering munitions into safe, controllable strike assets. It gives commanders and engineers reliable control over when and how a warhead detonates, combining impact, time‑delay and remote manual initiation options in a compact, modular package optimised for modern drone and remote‑strike concepts.

The Impact Initiation System is designed for use in contested electromagnetic environments and harsh weather, helping operators deliver precise effects on target while maintaining safe stand‑off from the point of detonation.

Key benefits

• Three controlled initiation modes: Operators can configure each munition for direct impact initiation, time‑delayed initiation or remote manual initiation, depending on the mission profile and rules of engagement.
• Designed for FPV & loitering munitions: Compact, lightweight form factor integrates cleanly with FPV drones, loitering munitions and other small platforms without compromising flight performance.
• Enhanced safety architecture: Multiple arming conditions and checks help ensure the munition remains safe during handling, loading, launch and transit, only moving to an armed state under defined conditions.
• Operator control at stand‑off: Remote manual initiation mode allows the operator to choose the exact moment of detonation from a safe distance, supporting discrimination, target confirmation and last‑second aborts.
• Supports complex concepts of operation: Impact and delayed modes enable tactics such as delayed wall breaching, structural effects or controlled timing in coordinated strikes.
• Built for harsh conditions: Engineered for field use in rain, dust, heat and cold, aligned with the environments in which FPV and loitering munitions are currently deployed.

Typical applications

• Equipping FPV “kamikaze” drones and other loitering munitions with a certified, configurable initiation solution.
• Precision strikes on vehicles, fighting positions and infrastructure where impact initiation or timed effects are required.
• Remote initiation of demolition or counter‑mobility charges mounted on unmanned ground or aerial systems.
• Training environments where safe, repeatable initiation behaviour and clear arming logic are essential.
• Integration into broader smart munition kits for forces adopting large‑scale FPV and loitering munition capabilities.

System overview

The RISE‑1 Impact Initiation System is built as a modular, platform‑agnostic kit that can be integrated into a variety of drone and loitering munition designs:

• Impact initiation mode: Detonates the main charge on confirmed impact with the target, supporting direct‑hit strike profiles for FPV drones and loitering munitions.
• Time‑delay initiation mode: Provides a configurable delay between impact or arming and detonation, supporting specific tactical effects (for example, allowing penetration or repositioning before function).
• Remote manual initiation mode: Enables the operator to initiate the charge from stand‑off via a secure command link when target conditions are met.
• Smart initiation module: Integrated electronics manage arming logic, mode selection and initiation signal processing, and can be configured to match the user’s safety policy and doctrine.
• Platform integration kit: Electrical and mechanical interfaces are designed to simplify integration with existing FPV drone airframes, loitering munitions and other remote platforms.
