The EFTR80-1 Enhanced Flight Termination Receiver (EFTR) the next generation in flight termination receivers that provides superior mission security over legacy FTRs. The EFTR80-1 is an EFTS (Enhanced Flight Termination System) compatible unit designed for Missile, Space Launch, Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) and Target applications. It is designed for minimum size, weight, and power (SWAP).
The EFTR80-1 utilizes a digital receiver which demodulates a CPFSK signal and decrypts the EFTS messages using the Triple Data Encryption Standard (TDES). This unit meets the requirements of both RCC 319-14 and RCC 325-11. The EFTR80-1 is intended for programs and applications with stringent environmental, EMI, and reliability requirements.
