Depends heavily on igniter design. Interior ballistic safety. Pressure waves can be caused by bad igniter design Current challenges. New ignition charge formulations. Shorter igniter for tank ammunition Complex ignition phenomena are occuring that we don't understand in much detail!enSolid PropellantsIgnitionDiscrete Element MethodCFDpresentation
