Partner since 2006ATK

Challenges

  • Seeking partner for launch of new product, Spider, an intelligent ‘man-in-the-loop’ munitions device.
  • Needed ITAR injection molder that could provide expertise and assistance in converting initial product samples to efficient manufacturing and assembly of complex components.

Kaysun Solution

  • Enhanced design of custom battery carriage to enhance strength and manufacturability.
  • Designed molding, tooling and assembly of five different assemblies.
  • Efficient and effective manufacturing process including delicate parts produced at high rates of speed and assembled with very precise component orientation.

Business Impact

  • Precision is critical to the Spider’s performance for US troops to effectively function in urban warfare.
  • Performance and precision are critical for today’s troops. The Spider reduces human loss due to errors and accidents and provides a level of protection for our troops with remote control capabilities while enabling increased operational and tactical flexibility.
