"Ampac DS-12T at the Paris Air Show 2005"

-It can run for more than 300 sec. and delivers almost 60,000 pulses.

-The advantage of being made of such high-quality metals is to prevent degradation of the combustion chamber and not having to use oxidation resistant covers.

"Testing the DS-12T"

-The Ampac-ISP with protected combustion chambers by Columbium and dual-fuel are used in commercial and government satellites.

-They also fully developed the DST-11H, with chambers of Platinum/Rhodium using NTO/hydrazines.
