Defence Missiles Transmission

Mild Detonating Cord

Pyroalliance designs and manufactures several types of Mild Detonating Cord with various diameters, sizes, shape connections or cladding.

Mild Detonating Cord is used to transmit detonating signals. Such signal can be received from another detonating line (via a manifold), a detonator or a slapper. It is transmitted to a terminal function such as a Through Bulkhead Initiator (TBI) for solid rocket ignition or a cutting cord (for separation or flight termination functions).

More generally, Pyroalliance delivers complete pyrotechnic chains adapted to its customers’ needs. They are designed and manufactured under Pyroalliance design authority.
