Forward Actuation System (FAS)™

Forward charging, re-imagined

While forward charging systems are not new, most are adaptations layered onto legacy designs. FAS™ was developed as a ground-up, integrated architecture designed using operator input.

The result is a low-profile, non-protruding, non-reciprocating actuation system that preserves balance, minimizes snag hazards, and resists fouling and environmental contamination—supporting reliable operation in austere and professional-use conditions.
