Flashbang cartridge for a projectile launcher

Abstract

A deployment platform may be deployable in response to an electrical signal. The deployment platform may include a housing defining a bore and a cartridge disposed in the bore. The cartridge may include a body having an inner surface defining an internal passage. A propulsion module may be disposed in the internal passage and configured to expand a gas in response to an electrical signal. A powder load may be disposed in the internal passage and adjacent the propulsion module. A pyrotechnic load may be disposed in the internal passage adjacent the powder load. The propulsion module may include a conductor configured to receive the electrical signal, a primer configured to ignite in response to the electrical signal, and a primer cap disposed between the primer and an aft end of the powder load. The primer cap may strike the powder load in response to the primer igniting.
