Lockheed Martin has awarded Systima a contract to supply  Forward Bay Cover (FBC) Jettison Thrusters for the Orion Crew Exploration Vehicle.  The FBC protects the Orion Crew Exploration Vehicle parachute decent system during all mission phases through re-entry.  The Forward Bay Cover is jettisoned by Systima’s FBC thrusters just prior to deployment of the landing parachutes.  The FBC Thrusters are used to provide kick-off velocity and guidance during FBC jettison event.   Systima is responsible for design, testing and fabrication of the Orion development and Flight Test 1 thrusters. 

Systima Tech. has now been registered and certified as an AS9100C:2009 company. AS9100 is a widely adopted and standardized quality management system for the aerospace industry that defines additional areas within an aerospace quality management system that must be addressed when implementing an ISO 9001:2000-based quality system. The Department of Defense is also recognizing and adopting AS9100 in many aspects of military procurement. Formally ISO 9001 certified, Systima’s enhanced AS9100 certified quality management system provides our customers with an assurance that they will receive the highest quality product and services in the industry.

Systima Technologies Inc. has been awarded a Phase II development program through a Small Business Innovative Research (SBIR) contract with the United States Air Force. The objective of this program is to develop a simple, lightweight and reliable Scramjet Cold-Start Gas Generator for hydrocarbon fueled, supersonic combustion systems. This gas generator would allow repeatable cold-start ignition for missile and aircraft systems promoting access to space and prompt strike/reconnaissance. Systima will work with industry partners, the University of Washington and AFRL to develop this technology.

The US Air Force Research Laboratory (AFRL) awarded Systima Technologies an IDIQ contract today for the technology development, including design, fabrication and ground and flight test, of an ejection system to integrate and launch a battle damage investigation (BDI) sensor from an airborne weapon.

The US Air Forces awards Systima Technologies a $9.95 million indefinite-delivery-indefinite-quantity (IDIQ) contract to provide small munition carriage and release. Systima’s Common Launch Tube (CLT) is one of the items that was placed on the order.
