The MRP features a battery-operated camera, lens, and radio frequency downlink system that is capable of determining precise target location and target dimension measurements, yet is highly miniaturized and rugged enough to be shot out of a gun. Three US Air Force programs have now adopted Xybion's MRP system. The Air Force needed to reduce vibration loads on satellites during launch.
Most launch vehicles involve solid-fuel booster engines.
These engines require large resonant burns that give a harsher ride to small, delicate military and commercial satellites. CSA Engineering developed, tested, and advanced to flight status the new technology of whole-spacecraft vibration isolation. This results in immediate increases to mission payload or fuel while reducing the risk of vibration damage to the spacecraft and payload instruments during ascent to orbit. Finished parts are stress free and require no final reshaping or milling. Major customers, in addition to the Air Force include the Army, Department of Energy, General Electric, Boeing, and Pratt and Whitney.
