M-PACT® High Pressure Pure Air Generating Systems

The M-PACT® airborne high pressure pure air generating system is a proven low-risk solution for infrared missile seeker cooling applications.  From missile load to launch, the M-PACT system provides a continuous flow of pure, dry air to cool the missile seeker.  Because the air is virtually free of moisture and other impurities, M-PACT reduces fouling or freezing of the seeker, which increases missile efficiency and combat readiness.

M-PACT is currently in full-rate production for the US NAVY.

M-PACT has been selected by Lockheed Martin for use in the Joint Air-to-Ground Missile (JAGM) Pneumatic Cooling System (PCS).

M-PACT reduces life cycle costs by eliminating the need for gas canisters, refills, and the extensive maintenance and logistics supply chain associated with gas canisters. 

The M-PACT system consists of three main components:  a valve/manifold assembly; a micro-compressor; and a DC brushless electronic control unit.  Because of its modular design, M-PACT is adaptable to a wide variety of system design requirements.
