METHOD FOR IGNITION OF PROPELLANT CHARGE IN CHAMBER OF ARTILLERY PIECE BARREL WITH CASELESS LOADING AND DEVICE FOR ITS REALISATION Russian patent published in 2009 - IPC F42C19/85 

FIELD: weapons.

SUBSTANCE: group of inventions is related to the field of blasting equipment. Method is suggested for ignition of propellant charge in chamber of artillery piece barrel with caseless loading and device for its realisation. Method includes placement of metal initiators in propellant charge and radiation of metal initiators during shooting by electromagnet field of SHF-range with their heating up to temperature of propellant charge ignition. Metal initiators are made either from threads having length equal to half of radiation wave length, or from resonance annular elements with rupture and are installed in propellant charge in the form of bundles with their distribution along the whole volume of charge. Radiation of metal initiators bundles during shooting by electromagnet field of SHF-range is performed simultaneously by means of standing electromagnet wave.

EFFECT: provision of reliable ignition of charge and multiple use of initiation system, to improve conditions of charge functioning due to reduction of non-simultaneity of its different sections ignition.
