The pyrotechnic systems of the Ariane launch vehicle are described. The Ariane destruction and separation system requires that a series of functions be fulfilled: destruction of the three stages, ignition of braking and accelerating rockets, the disposal of accelerating rockets after use, and the separation of 1/2 stages. The components used are described together with ways of improving performance.
