Abstract
Pyrotechnic removal of a radome cover may be accomplished by scoring longitudinal recesses 50, preferably at least four, on the inner surface 26 of the cover 18. Explosives cord 38, shaped to preferentially detonate outward, is placed in the recesses 50, and is backed with a backing 48 to prevent damage to the underlying radome 12. Annular explosive cord sections 40 and 42 are placed at the nose 28 and rear end 20 of the radome cover 18. A detonator 34 explodes all cords simultaneously.
