Abstract	The physical and chemical phenomena involved in the ballistic process, both in conventional guns and in electrothermal-chemical (ETC) guns, are very complex, so that optimization of gun performance requires a detailed understanding of the influence of different parameters. The initial stage of propellant ignition is critical to the rest of the process, in terms of both performance (muzzle velocity, repeatability) and safety. A better understanding of the ignition stage is thus very important in achieving improved performance. In this paper, we propose a new method and ignition sensor aimed at providing direct experimental information about the propellant ignition process. We further report on measurements of the ignition delays, and the propagation of the "ignition wave", performed using these sensors in experimental devices such as closed bombs and gun simulators.
