MAIN PROPELLANT IGNITION LINER FOR CASED TELESCOPED AMMUNITION

摘要

A cased telescoped ammunition in which a rigid liner fills the gap between the control tube and the metering tube. The liner comprises an energetic material which transfers the ignition stimulus from the control tube propellant to the main propellant. Energetic materials in the liner can be modified to increase the ignition stimulus for proper cold round performance or decrease ignition stimulus for an improved timed sequencing of the round's performance. Both double-based and single-based energetic materials may be used.
