ABSTRACT:
A detonation initiator for use in explosive warheads to cause dual-end ination of the explosive within the warhead. An initiation transfer tube positioned interiorly and centrally within the warhead explosive contains a primary ignitor attached to a plurality of explosive trains leading to secondary ignitors. Booster plates positioned at either end of the explosive charge and adjacent the secondary ignitors detonate the explosive at either end causing the detonating front to travel toward the center of the explosive causing a great force to extend radially outward centrally from either end of the explosive. An initiation transfer tube positioned concentric with the explosive provides for an explosive output initiating from a single point at the center of the warhead to its ends without destroying or damaging the warhead.
