Abstract
An electronic thermally-initiated venting system (ETIVS) for rocket motors includes at least one linear-shaped charge attached to a rocket motor housing. At least one exploding foil initiator (EFI) is attached to the linear-shaped charge. At least one electronic thermally-initiated venting system circuit is electrically-connected to the EFI. The EFI is configured to auto-fire when the electronic thermally-initiated venting system circuit relays a current pulse through the EFI. The linear-shaped charge is configured to initiate when the current pulse is relayed through the EFI.
