Description
Our initiation systems portfolio includes:
- Tactical (radio) remote initiation systems (T-RAS: 80 Volts, 10 Amps) and for civil engineering applications (E-RAS: 400 Volts, 25 Amps);
- A shock-tube adapter SA-1 capable of accommodating a 2mm or 3mm shock-tube line;
- Disposable breaching devices (M-RAS: 15 Volts, 10 Amps);
- Impact-based initiators used in a range of FPV and fixed-wing drones and unmanned system applications.
MANTIS - An acoustic C-UAV
In an era where traditional detection methods fall short, MITEKAS is developing MANTIS—the next generation of acoustic locator technology designed to secure the skies and the battlefield. While current systems struggle with fiber-optic drones and high-noise environments, MANTIS is being engineered to bridge these critical security gaps.
• Precision Localization: We are aiming for near-instantaneous (est. <1 second) and highly accurate direction and location finding for sound-emitting objects;
• Advanced AI Identification: Our development focuses on using AI and mathematical modeling to distinguish between UAVs, transport, and personnel within seconds;
• Intelligent Noise Cancellation: MANTIS is designed to overcome the limitations of existing acoustic solutions by implementing disturbing-sound cancellation for high-pressure, challenging applications;
• Seamless NATO Integration: A core technical goal is full compatibility with NATO communication standards (e.g., SAPIENT), allowing MANTIS to feed critical data directly to cameras, turrets, and battle management systems;
• Versatile User Distribution: We intend for the system to provide rapid, actionable information to everyone from the individual infantryman and vehicle operator to wide-level field commanders;
• Variety of use cases: from a single, stand-alone device used on a building or other critical infrastructure to squad protection or a distributed mesh network for more robust protection.
***
All our technologies are designed with a strong focus on operator safety, rapid deployment, and system reliability. Remote (radio) initiation systems and disposable devices have been tested and positively evaluated by Lithuanian and other EU member countries' Special Operations Forces and EOD teams, confirming their performance in demanding field conditions.
With over 15 years of experience, we deliver solutions built with operator safety, speed, and reliability as core principles. MITEKAS is a member of the Lithuanian Defense and Security Industry Association and holds a NATO NCAGE registration (025AR), reflecting its alignment with international defense standards and commitment to trusted, interoperable solutions.

Products
- Arming delay safety time (user-programmable, default 2 min). After the removal of the safety pin, the timer starts to allow the drone to fly away a safe distance from the command point
- Self-destruct capability according to set time or battery level (default 20 min; this feature can be disabled)
CONTROL SIGNALS
- Servo PWM variant
- Crossfire variant
INITIATION
- Up to140 mJ Electric Detonator (ED) initiation charge
- Up to 16V Integrated electric charge voltage
- Up to 10A initiation current (depends on ED resistance)
ELECTRICAL
- Power input voltage: 30 V
- Power consumption at idle: 9mA (depends on DE resistor, minimum 4V)
- Power consumption peak load: 120mA (depends on DE resistor, minimum 4V)
- Power Output: 3,3 V, 50 mA
MECHANICAL
- External measurements – 36,2 x 40 x 9.6 mm.

- Operating temperature -41°C to +71°C
- Up to 17.6J Electric Detonator (ED) initiation charge
- Up to 400V Integrated electric charge voltage
- Up to 25A discharge current
CONNECTIVITY
- Typical communication distance between transmitter and receiver (868 MHz, standard internal antenna, no interference or jamming):
- Maximum number of supported E-RAS – 12 devices with a T-RAS transmitter
- Frequency range: 358MHz-955MHz (excluding 575MHz-583MHz and 717MHz-778 MHz ranges)
- Internal antenna usage frequency range: 830 MHz – 870 MHz
- In standby mode, transmitters and receivers do not emit any signals
- Safe, encrypted (AES-256) bidirectional digital communication and firmware
SAFETY GUIDELINES
- The E-RAS has a separate “TEST” button and LED (green/red), which shows if the detonator is connected properly to avoid a misfire event
- System shows when it is in “Safe” mode and when in “Armed” mode
- To execute initiation (“Fire” mode), it is always mandatory to use a two-finger combination for safety

- Secure transmission – AES-256 encrypted signal between T-RAS and M-RAS-2 ensures controlled detonation only by authorized users
- Operator-first safety – Built with strict protocols to minimize accidental detonation risk in volatile environments
- Disposable or reusable – While M-RAS-2 is designed as a disposable unit for single-mission efficiency, operators can optionally connect wires to the detonator if they wish to preserve and reuse the device
- Glove-friendly operation – Equipped with two dedicated press buttons for quick and convenient wire connection, even while wearing gloves or operating in cold weather conditions with limited dexterity
- Precision activation – Ideal for synchronized tactical breaching where timing and coordination are critical
