A special category of ignition system is the cartridge actuated device (CAD) also known as the Propellant Actuated Device (PAD) which serves to generate the mechanical force to close switches (in the manner of a squib) or to perform otherwise mechanical work (Vol 2, C70-R Ref 138, p 167)...

Cartridge-Actuated Devices (CAD), now preferentially called Propellant-Actuated Devices (PAD), are used for ejection of stores from dispensers of airplanes, for the complex mechanisms of ejection of pilots from fast-flying aircraft as well as astronauts from spacecraft (such as Gemini) in cases of low-altitude aborts. The major devices are classed as Removers (Retraclors), Thrusters, Catapults, Guillotine-Type Cutters, and certain Initiators (for operation of other PAD s). [Pg.167]

An electronic delay element for certain propellant-actuated device is described in a Frankford Arsenal report,About 3 in, in volunv and 4 oz in weight, it is claimed to permit delaytimes of 0.I-I5 set with a 3% accuracy over an interval of —65 to +200 F. By comparison with pyrotechnic standards superior performance, this is surpassed by another device, for which incremental delay times of 0.1 sec up to 1000 sec are claimed with an accuracy of 0,1 %. The future will show if the above-described advantages of pyrotechnic delays (economy, ruggedness, producibility) will outweigh the performance characteristics of electronic or mechanical delays.
