Description
Sonoma Aerospace,LLC is proposing a compact and high performance electro-mechanical actuation system with equal or improved performance as compared to existing rocket motor and pintle control actuators with significantly reduced cost. Advanced technologies in protective material coatings, motor fabrication and assembly, position sensing, and reduced parts count will be combined with balancing of actuator performance and system performance margins using Cost As Independent Variable (CAIV) studies. The result is a product with 20- 30% inherent cost reduction vs current actuator technologies in this class. Approved for Public Release 14-MDA-8047 (14 Nov 14)
