Immune to electronic countermeasures
By definition, not by shielding. There is no receiver, no circuit and no battery for an HPM, an EMP or a jammer to attack. The activator has no attack surface.

A configurable, 100 % analogue switch for anything with a trajectory.
No electronics. No power. Nothing to interfere with.

The idea in one sentence
What is this?
A mechanical device that turns relative airspeed into a discrete event at the point of the trajectory the operator chooses by turning a crown.
- Input
- Dynamic pressure of the airflow
- Threshold
- Spring preload, adjustable with a toothed crown
- Output
- Release of a cap → any mechanical action
- Power
- None. It comes from the motion of the body itself
Mechanical programming: one tooth = one threshold step. No tools, no software.
Why absolutely analogue
Three properties that aren't improvements
Three properties that aren't improvements
of degree, but of kind.
An order of magnitude cheaper
Machined parts: spindle, spring, cap, crown. No electronics to manufacture, no prior programming, and none of the control system normally required around it.
No components with a chemical life
No battery, no capacitor, no semiconductor. The only thing that ages is steel. Decades of storage with no periodic checks, no battery logistics, no electronic expiry date.
Against the state of the art
What sets us apart
What sets us apart
from an arming vane.
Airflow has been arming fuzes for a century. We use it to fire.
Arming vane / pitot (state of the art)
- Enables: it removes a safety. The action is decided by another system (time, impact, proximity).
- Acts once a minimum speed is exceeded: “you are already far from the shooter”.
- Threshold fixed at the factory.
- Only makes sense in ammunition.
In-flight Activator
- Executes: it is the event itself. It releases a load, opens a parachute, applies a brake.
- Selects a specific point on the trajectory, downwards or upwards in speed.
- Threshold configurable in the field, tooth by tooth, without tools.
- Any body with a trajectory and relative airflow.
Applications
Anything
Anything
with a trajectory.
Four verticals, from the most innocuous to the most demanding. The mechanism is the same in all of them.
1 ·
Reserve parachute
Detects failure of the main canopy by overspeed. No altimeter, no battery, no arming.
2 ·
Unattended airdrop
Release with no personnel on board: deployment by speed reached, not by clock or operator.
3 ·
Bodies that accelerate
Lifts and rail: a purely passive overspeed backup for when no power is left.
4 ·
Configurable ammunition
Payload release or process activation at the chosen distance, with no electronic fuze.

Where we are
and what we propose.
European patent filed
Under accelerated examination (PACE). It covers the mechanism, its embodiments by calibre and the civil applications.
Physical model validated in simulation
Trajectories solved with two independent algorithms; operating windows and adjustment scales calculated.
Demonstrator defined
We work alongside companies adapting the technology to their products. Requirements, test methods and testing facilities identified. The MVPs are run with the Universidad Politécnica de Cartagena.
What we offer
Three ways to work
Three ways to work
with the technology.
01
Technology licence per vertical
For whoever integrates the activator into their own solutions: ammunition, aerospace, security. Each vertical with its own licensee.
02
Full sale of the platform
Patent portfolio, simulation model and designs. An open option for anyone wanting global exclusivity.
03
Under mutual NDA
Specifications by calibre, simulation model, drawings and the line of evolution.
Future is analog
The activator is the technology platform
