Abstract
A method for detonating an unexploded munition including: firing one or more munitions into an area without detonation; providing the one or more munitions with a power supply having a piezoelectric material for generating power from an induced vibration; inducing a vibration in the power supply of the one or more munitions to generate power; and generating a detonation signal from the generated power to detonate the one or more munitions.
Claims5
A method for detonating an unexploded munition, the method comprising:
- firing one or more munitions into an area without detonation;
- providing the one or more munitions with a power supply having a piezoelectric material for generating power from an induced vibration;
- inducing a vibration in the power supply of the one or more munitions from a source external to the one or more munitions to generate power;
- and
- generating a detonation signal from the generated power to detonate the one or more munitions.

A method for detonating an unexploded munition, the method comprising:
- firing a plurality of munitions into an area without detonation;
- providing each of the plurality of munitions with a power supply having a piezoelectric material for generating power from an induced vibration;
- detonating a subsequent munition in the area to induce a vibration in the power supply of the plurality of munitions to generate power in each of the power supplies;
- and
- generating a detonation signal in each of the plurality of munitions from the generated power to detonate each of the plurality of munitions.
