Abstract

Microwave ignition systems with a launcher affixed to or located within a gun spindle. Use of a planar, impedance matched system that include a launcher affixed to or located within a gun spindle and a receiver affixed the propelling charge, where the receiver is engineered and impedance matched to efficiently deposit energy into the receiving igniter material, may result in significantly better timing and reliability than conventional mechanical gun ignition systems and other microwave ignition systems. A pressure-tolerant feed through system can route the microwave energy to the inside of the breech.
