Abstract: The system and method for forming an ignition sequencer comprising two inseparable portions (a body and an armature) where an armature is articulable with respect to a body to allow for the existence of no less than two distinct stages of the ignition sequence through the articulating motion of the additively-manufactured armature. The ignition sequencer assembly architecture allows for installation of an internal energetic compound while all components are assembled and interconnected. The ignition sequencer assembly architecture allows for installation into a next higher-level assembly using a single, uniaxial, force.

Abstract: The system and method for an additively manufactured self-destructive delay device is a bellow/lattice structure or other form. The device may be installed as a replacement to a previous device, where the device yields under the deployment force at a specific rate to match the time-displacement curve established by a previous hydraulic delay device. The delay device has a virtually unlimited lifespan, is cheap to manufacture, and can be adaptable to other loads and conditions for use in or on other platforms. This solution can be applied anywhere where mechanical delay devices are needed within systems. Some examples include wing/fin deployment mechanisms, safety crumple zones, or devices that act as shear pins.

Abstract: The system and method of a low inertia, rolling control actuation system (CAS) for a projectile. A CAS having only two canards provides reduced cost and quicker reaction times. In some cases one or more bearings can intermittently decouple the CAS from the projectile and in some cases with the use of a brake. If there are two bearings on either side of the CAS, the front and/or back of the projectile can be decoupled to provide even quicker response times. The front of the projectile may have a warhead and additional sensors or imagers. The rear of the projectile may contain a booster or the like.
