Conax Florida Corporation has adopted explosive technology to a variety of stored gas systems. This ability provides our customers the advantages of a cold gas system and the reliability of electro-explosive technology.

The regulated stored gas vessel above is used in the Tomahawk Cruise Missile's thrust vector control system. High pressure nitrogen is released via an electro-explosive valve and metered by a 3000 psi regulator. This system has been fully qualified to U.S. Navy specifications.

This technology has lead to the continued use of stored gas systems throughout the DOD programs.

Additional information concerning this and other explosively actuated stored gas systems may be obtained directly from Conax Florida Corporation
