​Safe testing of countermeasure systems

​Non‑pyrotechnic testing

​CAST‑zero+ enables complete testing of chaff and flare dispensing systems on the ground without the need to use pyrotechnics or hazardous materials. This eliminates risks associated with handling real countermeasures during maintenance and mission preparation tasks, increasing personnel safety and reducing logistical restrictions at air bases and in forward‑deployed environments.

​Stray voltage verification

​The system incorporates advanced functions for the detection and measurement of stray voltages in countermeasure dispensers. This verification makes it possible to identify anomalous conditions prior to operation, preventing unintended activations and contributing to a safer working environment during pre‑flight phases.

​Complete scenario simulation

​CAST‑zero+ is capable of emulating all operating modes of the dispenser, reproducing different operational scenarios, including failure states or fired cartridge conditions. This capability makes it possible to validate end‑to‑end the correct behavior of the self‑protection system without the need to perform real firings, ensuring a reliable and repeatable verification.

​Use at air bases and deployed environments

​Designed for ground use, CAST‑zero+ is a reusable, rechargeable and easily transportable device, compatible with standard 1×1” cartridges. Its compact and robust design makes it particularly suitable for use both at air bases and in deployed environments, where logistical simplicity and speed of use are critical.

​Increased safety and availability

​The use of CAST‑zero+ directly contributes to reducing operational risks, downtime and logistical dependency, facilitating the safe preparation of aircraft prior to the mission. These capabilities reinforce the operational availability of air platforms and support an efficient sustainment approach, aligned with current operational and safety requirements.

​CAST‑zero+ enables complete testing of chaff and flare dispensing systems on the ground, eliminating the use of pyrotechnics and reducing risks to personnel and platforms.
