Achieving 5- microsec Simultaneity of 36 RP-80 Detonators

Abstract

The US Army Research Laboratory investigated the conditions and the materiel required to fire large numbers of RP-80 detonators simultaneously using the FS-43 firing system. The results of the investigation demonstrated an in-house capability for initiating 36 detonators within a 5- s simultaneity interval.
