The most popular rocket altimeter of all time (over 12,000 sold), the
ALTS2 and ALTS2-50K Altimeter with Dual
Deployment™, has been updated again, this time to Mil Spec
Standard.
Also . . . Announcing a new Flight Partner
for the ALTS2 and ALTS2-50K:
 The DDCS2 Dual Deployment Controller™, the ideal
Redundancy Backup Device
The DDCS2 uses the same circuitry as
the ALTS2 / ALTS2-50K and also handles
Dual Deployment™, but it does not report maximum altitude after a
rocket flight. Because of this, the tedious calibration requirements of
the ALTS2 / ALTS2-50K can be avoided somewhat and allow the DDCS2 a
substantially lower price. The DDCS2 can be used as the primary
deployment controlling device if you don't care about measuring altitude
(some rocketeers actually don't). But typically it would be used as a
redundancy backup device alongside an ALTS2 / ALTS2-50K (or any other
altimeter).
Significant Update to the ALTS1 and ALTS1-50K Altimeter
with Deployment
The ALTS1 / ALTS1-50K Is a Maximum
Altitude Altimeter with Single Deployment (no trade mark on the term
Single Deployment). It can fire a deployment charge at apogee (maximum
altitude), or it can be programmed to fire the single charge during
descent at 500 feet above the ground (a new feature). It is the same
size as the ALTS2 / ALTS2-50K.
The ALTS1 / ALTS1-50K also has a new Flight
Partner . . .
The DCS1 Deployment Controller™, another ideal
Redundancy Backup Device
The DCS1 Deployment Controller™ is
based on the ALTS1 / ALTS1-50K Maximum
Altitude Altimeter with Deployment. It can be programmed to fire a
charge at apogee, or at 500 feet above ground during descent. It can be
used alone, or as a redundancy backup device alongside the ALTS1 /
ALTS1-50K ( or any other altimeter). When a DCS1 is used alongside an
ALTS1 / ALTS1-50K Altimeter, Dual Deployment™ can be implemented by
programming one of them to fire at apogee, and the other at 500 feet AGL.
Note that the new DCS1 outperforms the popular APD1 Apogee
Detector™ by Adept (but not the APD1-100K). The APD1
and APD1-100K have similar function to the DCS1.
Significant Update to the DDCS25 Dual Deployment
Controller™
 The DDCS25 now has the same
Dual Deployment™ features as the latest version of the ALTS25
Altimeter, including seven selections for the second (main parachute)
deployment output. The DDCS25 can be used alone if you don't care about
measuring altitude. But typically it would be used as a Dual Redundancy
Backup Device along with an ALTS25
Altimeter, and the DDCS25 has a much lower price.

High-current capability that can fire any
igniter anywhere (12 amps for 2.3 seconds). And they are programmable to
times in excess of 10 minutes (that should be enough). Two versions are
available, one for high current and one for low current.
