AREIS – Aerial Remote Explosives Initiation System
AREIS (Aerial Remote Explosives Initiation System) is a compact, dual-safe, modular fusing solution designed for UAS-deployed munitions across both ordnance-drop and kinetic one-way (kamikaze) mission profiles. Built around a lightweight 3D-printed nose cap with a custom CB, it bridges the critical safety gap between improvised field methods and high-cost military hardware – and fits a wide range of standard munitions without platform modification.
*Colorado Springs, CO, JULY 2026 – ARIES Advances to Gauntlet II of the Drone Dominance Program 2026 – Following the Phase II Qualifying Event at Camp Grayling, 19 companies have advanced to the next stage, taking place at Fort Carson, Colorado, this August 2026. For Mountain Horse Solutions and AG3 Labs, Gauntlet II will center on SPADE and the Aerial Remote Explosive Initiation System (AREIS) capability.
