Abstract
A decoy flare with a sequenced ignition is disclosed. The flare comprises a case including an aperture for an impulse cartridge, a segment of pyrotechnic material and a sequencer igniter. The sequencer igniter includes a housing having an aperture, an ignition pellet and an interrupt positioned to cover the aperture when the sequencer igniter is in the case thereby separating the ignition pellet and the pyrotechnic material. When the impulse cartridge is ignited the segment of pyrotechnic material and the sequencer igniter move out of the case, the ignition pellet is ignited, the interrupt moves to uncover the aperture and the segment of pyrotechnic material is ignited.
