Pyrovalves have long been a staple in defense programs, but their single-use design, shock output, debris risks, and demanding handling requirements put them increasingly at odds with today’s mission needs. As systems evolve, engineers require components that are safer, reusable, and easier to qualify. But what alternative options exist?
Watch our webinar to learn about solutions that offer increased design flexibility and improved system performance across critical defense applications. We will share best practices for transitioning away from traditional pyrovalves – what to use instead, how to make the switch, and ways to ensure mission success.
Our recent webinar, Mitigating Risk: Highly Reliable Alternatives to Pyrovalves, addressed the growing challenges defense engineers face as mission requirements evolve. Attendees explored why program teams are reconsidering pyrovalves, what alternative actuation technologies exist, and practical considerations for transitioning away from traditional pyrovalves toward safer, more reliable alternatives.
