SENER Aeroespacial and GILMOUR Space to develop AFTS for ERIS launch vehicle

SENER Aeroespacial and Gilmour Space are working together on an Autonomous Flight Termination System (AFTS) for the Eris launch vehicle. The AFTS is a smart Hardware/Software unit with autonomous decision-making capability responsible for aborting a flight if any anomaly is identified. The AFTS establishes a new paradigm for launcher operations, being of the highest criticality and built upon SENER Aeroespacial’s experience in NAVIGA, the navigation unit for VEGA-C
