RIU - Rockets Interface Unit

The RIU is a rugged digital controller designed to support rocket launchers such as M260 and M261. The RIU can be adapted to multiple solutions for a wide array of avionics applications where rapid implementation, easy integration and high performance along with low weight and volume are required.
As an advanced avionics Line Replaceable Unit (LRU), the RIU can be adapted to provide interfaces for a variety of applications on aerial vehicles. The RIU's rugged construction allows for safe operation in the hard environment associated with its location in the weapon pylons.


Typical Applications:

  • Next Generation RIU
  • Capable to control two rocket launchers at the same time.
  • Single and dual channel units available.


Standard Interfaces:

The RIU communicates via dual redundant MIL-STD-1553B serial communication. The I/O configuration can be tailored to customer's specific application and requirements.


Performance Highlights:

  • Stringent armament safety per MIL-STD-882.
  • Complete Built-In-Test (BIT).
  • Low power consumption (less than 10W).
  • Light weight, modular and flexible design.


Technical Specifications:

  • Qualification - MIL-STD-810F
  • EMI/RFI - MIL-STD-461E
  • Power Supply per - MIL-STD-704A


Growth Potential:

  • The RIU can be adapted to RGIU which can replace two legacy units - RIU and EU on helicopters and aircraft.
  • Capable to control two rocket launchers or two guns or one rocket launcher and one gun at the same time.
  • Store and Weapon Release.
