Abstract
A multi-detonator explosive charge/warhead eliminates the single point insensitive munitions failure of the detonator and can eliminate the single point insensitive munitions failure of the booster by eliminating the booster itself. The initiation of multiple detonators is timed such that the respective pressure waves constructively interfere to produce sufficient peak pressure to detonate the booster charge (if used) or to directly detonate the main explosive charge (whether a standard or insensitive main explosive charge). Detonation of any individual detonator or a subset of detonators within a narrow time window is insufficient to produce peak pressures capable of detonation the booster charge or main explosive charge, thus eliminating the single point failure associated with the single detonator and possibly the booster charge.
