FIRING DEVICE AND A METHOD FOR TRANSMITTING A SIGNAL TO AN ELECTRONICS UNITS OF AN IGNITER

Application 2808/MAS/1998 published 2006-07-14, filed 1998-12-16
Device for the induction of a magnetic field in the muzzle region of a firing device when a missile, a bullet or a rocket leaves a firing device, with the aid of a device for generating a magnetic field it is possible to induce a voltage in an induction device of the misile that can be used for adjusting and triggering the igniter and optinally for controlling the missile. It is known from the prior art that the magnetic rield at the firing device is generated with the aid of induction coils. The induction coils necessitate the costly provision of electrical power. In view of the fact that the device is usually arragned in the muzzle region on the firing device, it is subject to vibrations and corrosive discharge gases, this having a negative effect upon the cotnacts of the electrical terminals. In accordance with the invention it is therefore suggested that at least one permanent magnet (5) be arranged in the muzzle region (2) of the firing device (1) for the generation of a magnetic field (9)
