With the continued shift towards more insensitive munitions and the subsequent development of low vulnerability propellants, the study of novel gun igniters is playing a significant role in the design of future direct and in‐direct fire charge systems. Previously, concepts such as electrothermal plasma ignition have offered high performance ignition solutions. However, using current technology they lack practical, in‐service applicability and will be difficult to incorporate into near future combat systems at a low cost.
