Designing fuel management and pneumatic systems for missiles and avoidance systems for military applications present several additional issues beyond those found in other aerospace vehicles.
Ausco has specialized in these components for over 50 years. Missile components need to be designed for high vibration and high acceleration loads from underwing captive carry and ejection. Our solutions include valves, manifolds, fuel management systems and temperature control systems and can be found on a variety of current and planned future missile systems.
Many long-range tactical missiles have liquid fuel systems. Ausco has created a niche around these systems.
Valves used in the front of the missile are designed for precision performance that is consistent throughout the mission and from missile to missile.
Valves used on the back of the missile are designed to optimize fuel flow to the engine. There are several key design considerations that are not intuitive and are part of Ausco’s history of lessons learned.
