MI Remote Firing System (MIRFS)

The Magneto Inductive Remote Firing System (MIRFS) provides secure wireless activation of ordnance and other defense systems. MIRFS provides the capability to remotely initiate devices in areas where the intervening media is not penetrable by traditional wireless channels. The magnetic command signal passes through rock, water, soil, concrete, vegetation and urban structures and is not restricted to Line-Of-Sight (LOS) operations.

MIRFS is a man-portable system that can be used for a wide range of remote firing applications, from precision demolitions to direct fire against time-sensitive targets.
MIRFS is interoperable with conventional hard-wired and wireless systems. MIRFS uses mature, proven technology.

MIRFS Transmitter

The MIRFS transmitter generates an ac magnetic field for secure, reliable command signalling that is highly resilient to conventional RF counter-measures. System operation includes test features that allow verification of the complete command chain without initiating ordnance. The transmitter has an RS 232 input to enable remote transmitter control for increasing stand-off ranges. MIRFS transmitters are available with extended-range antenna options.

MIRFS Receiver

The MIRF hand-held receiver is capable of initiating most electric and non-electric detonators, such as electric blasting caps, standard commercial detonators, exploding bridge wire, non-electric detonators and shock tubes.

MIRF receivers can be initiated individually or in groups and based on type of initiation, may be re-used.

MIRFS Marine

The Magneto Inductive Remote Firing System (MIRFS) Marine is a secure and reliable means of wirelessly firing ordnance in shallow, littoral environments not serviceable by acoustical channels.

MIRFS Marine is resistant to audible background noise, multipathing, sea state and marine growth. Ordnance utilizing MIRFS demolition charges can be wirelessly fired Non-Line-of-Sight (NLOS) through shallow marine bathymetry or man-made structures.

MIRFS Marine is interoperable with MIRFS land-based transmitters.

MIRFS Extended Range

Using a motor controlled reel, MIRFS Extended Range loop antenna can be rapidly deployed and retrieved by two operators.

MIRFS Extended Range Transmitters are configured to fit in the back of a pick-up truck, or similar military vehicle.
