Patent ID: 8621998

Claim:
A remote initiator breaching system for initiating breaching charges over a short range requiring no physical link between the breacher and the demolition charge, the remote initiator breaching system includes at least one transmitter, at least one receiver, at least one shock tube connectable to a breaching charge and a power source for each of the transmitter and receiver, wherein the transmitter includes (i) means for generating and transmitting a coded signal and input means for inputting operational commands into the transmitter for generating the coded signal, (ii) a plurality of channels representing different frequency bands, and (iii) a plurality of addresses for each channel such that transmission of coded signal from the transmitter to the receiver is possible per individual addresses or all addresses simultaneously, and wherein the receiver includes (i) a shock tube interface adapted to interface directly with the shock tube connected to a breaching charge, (ii) a spark-initiator for initiating a spark at the shock tube interface in order to initiate the shock tube, and (iii) means for receiving the coded signal from the transmitter and input means for inputting operational commands into the receiver for generating an output signal for the initiation of the shock tube upon receipt of a valid transmitted coded signal.
