RSI ESAD-L1

Multi-layer safety architecture for unmanned strike platforms

Reliable when and where it matters most

Multi-step arming sequence

Platform-Agnostic Integration

Flexible Initiation for any mission requirements

SAFETY FEATURES

MECHANICAL INTERLOCK – safety pin pulled at takeoff

SAFE SEPARATION TIMING – mandatory delay after power-on

AIRBORNE GATE – system confirms the drone is genuinely in flight

MANUAL ARMING – deliberate, operator-controlled action

ACTIVATION GATE – final condition before initiation is permitted

Arming is inhibited until all safety mechanisms are cleared.

Functionality

Direct drone interface – controlled from the pilot’s console as the primary mode, with RISE-1 controller support available when required

Status display – arming status is shown in the OSD (On-Screen Display)

Four initiation modes – impact, proximity, timer, and manual command

Payload agnostic – configurable initiation adaptable to any payload type, maximising effectiveness across diverse target scenarios

Carrier-agnostic – Standard flight-controller interface and dual Picatinny rail mount ensure integration with any drone platform, independent of manufacturer

Benefits

The ESAD-L1 eliminates the risk of unintended detonation at the launch site, offers multiple initiation modes including proximity detonation that fires an EFP charge at optimal standoff distance, and allows safe recovery or disposal of the munition if a mission is aborted.
