A weapon system effectively, efficiently and safely transmits high energy radio frequency energy into the confines of the breech environment to initiate propelling charges. Legacy components are leveraged, along with advanced manufacturing techniques, to create antenna structures which transmit the radio frequency energy throughout the breech to initiate radio frequency-based primers.

Processes for controlling the growth and thickness of two-dimensional transition metal dichalcogenides are provided. The process modifies an insulator substrate surface with an electron or ion beam to create charged areas on the substrate surface. The treated surface allows for hydroxylation of the charged species which serves as nucleation sites for the seed particles during chemical vapor deposition that promotes growth of thin layers of transition metal dichalcogenides.

An anti-fratricide responsive ordnance system that uses the power of a friendly radio frequency signal to detect and identify a friendly force. Upon identification, an electronic safe and arm device disarms the munition when it enters a kill radius of the friendly force emitting the friendly radio signal.
