Abstract:
To provide reliable and accurate ignition timing for 5''''/38 and 5''''/54 rocket assisted projectiles, a mass is situated so as to shear loose its holding pin when the projectile is gun fired. At termination of setback, the mass is moved by a spring to percussively actuate the thermal battery. The battery provides power to a timing circuit which after a suitable delay switches current through a squib.
