FPV Safe and Arm Switches
FPV Safe and Arm Switches built for FPV Kinetic Payload Systems require more than basic triggering—they demand controlled arming, confirmation before activation, and reliable initiation at impact. These systems are engineered to support precision strike, maximize lethality, and enforce operator safety across drone payload applications.
Manufactured by EOD Gear®, a U.S.-based defense manufacturer operating under ISO 9001:2015, ITAR registration, ATF FFL Type 10 / FEL Type 20, and a GSA contract, these systems are designed and produced in-house for controlled, repeatable performance in mission-critical environments.
FPV Safe and Arm Switches: Frequently Asked Questions
What is a Safe and Arm device for FPV drones?
The system standing between a live payload and an accident: it keeps the payload safe through handling, transport, and launch; arms only on deliberate, confirmed command; and initiates reliably at the intended moment. Basic triggering fires when told; a Safe and Arm system refuses to fire until every condition says it should. Full technical background in our guide: What Is a Safe and Arm Device (SAD) for FPV Drones?
Why does a dedicated SAD/ESAD matter for kinetic payload programs?
Because the same electronics that deliver the strike also protect the operator loading the aircraft. Programs fielding FPV kinetic payloads at scale need arming logic that's engineered, tested, and repeatable — not improvised at the bench. Safe and Arm discipline is what separates a fielded capability from a liability, and it's precisely where an EOD-founded manufacturer lives.
Why does US-based, licensed manufacture matter here?
Supply chain and legality. These components sit adjacent to energetic systems, so a domestic manufacturer operating under ITAR registration, ATF FFL Type 10 / FEL Type 20, and ISO 9001:2015 gives programs traceable, compliant sourcing — designed and produced in Franklin, Tennessee, not imported from the same supply chains the requirement exists to avoid.
Can EOD Gear develop a Safe and Arm solution to a program's requirement?
Yes — in-house design, additive prototyping, and CNC production under one roof supports open-architecture, program-specific SAD/ESAD development on operational timelines, from prototype iteration through low-rate and scaled production.
Who can purchase FPV Safe and Arm systems?
These systems support defense and authorized program applications. Contact us through the contact form to discuss your program and confirm eligibility — every submission is logged and answered in writing, so you have documented correspondence for your contract file. Government purchasing is supported through GSA Schedule GS-07F-148GA, purchase orders, and formal RFQ.
