AIRBAG LANDING PROTECTION FOR UAVS
Protect the aircraft. Preserve the mission.
RESBAG Systems develops lightweight airbag technology for UAVs equipped with emergency parachute recovery systems. The system reduces touchdown loads and protects airframes, sensors and valuable mission payloads.

COMPACT WHEN STORED. PROTECTIVE WHEN DEPLOYED.
One system, two clearly different states.
The integrated configuration keeps the airbag compact during normal operation. After activation, the deployed structure creates the controlled deformation volume needed for impact mitigation.
01STORED CONFIGURATION
Compact integration
The airbag is packaged close to the platform to preserve payload compatibility and minimise interference with normal aircraft operation.
- Low-volume installation
- Platform-specific mounting
- Designed around mission payloads
02DEPLOYED CONFIGURATION
Full landing protection
After activation, the airbag creates a stable protective cushion that absorbs impact energy and limits the loads transmitted into the structure and payload.
- Rapid inflation
- Controlled multi-chamber deformation
- Calibrated venting at touchdown
Parachute activation
RESBAG interfaces with the emergency recovery system and starts the landing-protection sequence automatically.
Rapid deployment
The compactly stored airbag deploys and reaches its operating condition before touchdown.
Controlled energy absorption
The multi-chamber structure and calibrated venting extend the deceleration event and reduce peak loads.

Built for aircraft where landing damage matters.
