Abstract
The paper briefly analyzes the advantages and prospects for the development of laser-initiated pyrotechnics, the existing developments in this area and their current problems. A structural scheme of a laser initiated pyrocartridge, a scheme for focusing light to initiate a pyrotechnic charge, and a method for implementing control of the pressure pulse generated by it are proposed. Numerical simulation methods have been used to study the behavior of the pyrocartridge design under static high-pressure loading and the possibility of generating various pressure pulses in the working volume of spacecraft pyrounits during the outflow of gases from the pyrocartridge after charge initiation.
