Abstract: A new remote controlled system to release avalanches with oversnow detonations using appropriate explosives is presented. The system consists of a simple tower that supports a finger type docking system for a compact magazine that includes 12 charges of up to 5kg, the control electronics and a transceiver system. For recharging, maintenance and storage during summer the complete module is moved by helicopter to a base station of the operation.
