Propulsion module assembly for a projectile launcher

A method comprising:

• determining, based at least in part on a pilot signal associated with a propulsion source housing, that a propulsion module is associated with a projectile launcher;
• determining that the propulsion module is in a first state, the first state associated with a propellant source being fluidly sealed;
• receiving a control signal from a control interface associated with the projectile launcher;
• causing, based at least in part on the control signal, an activation signal to be transmitted to an activation circuit associated with a puncher of the propulsion module;
• and
• determining that the propulsion module is in a second state, the second state associated with the propellant source being fluidly connected with the projectile launcher.

A system comprising:

• a puncher operable to transition from a first state to a second state;
• a propulsion module cap removably secured to a propulsion module housing, the puncher secured in proximity to a propellant cannister by the propulsion module cap;
• a propulsion module contact positioned to contact a conductive ring of the propulsion module cap responsive to the propulsion module cap being coupled to the propulsion module housing;
• a puncher contact;
• and
• a control circuit configured to determine that the puncher is in the first state based at least on a pilot signal and that the puncher has transitioned to the second state based at least on an activation signal, the pilot signal and the activation signal transmitted via the propulsion module contact and the puncher contact.
