Abstract
The system and method for forming an ignition sequencer comprising two inseparable portions (a body and an armature) where an armature is articulable with respect to a body to allow for the existence of no less than two distinct stages of the ignition sequence through the articulating motion of the additively-manufactured armature. The ignition sequencer assembly architecture allows for installation of an internal energetic compound while all components are assembled and interconnected. The ignition sequencer assembly architecture allows for installation into a next higher-level assembly using a single, uniaxial, force.
