Abstract :
Many electroexplosive devices as used in military and aerospace systems are susceptible to electrostatic discharge and can inadvertently fire. The problem can be analyzed and quantified by certain measurement procedures. A variety of protection techniques can be employed. Theory and performances of certain improved methods capable of protecting the system are presented.
