The appearance of insensitive main charges has created new requirements in the booster pellets of the detonation train, specifically, the output of the booster pellet must be strong enough to initiate the insensitive main charge. Traditional cylindrical booster pellets have great difficulty in meeting the demands of the insensitive main charge for reliable detonation. A four-point-synchronous explosive circuit and an eight-point-synchronous explosive circuit were designed to initiate two booster pellets, designed on the basis of shock initiation theory and effective charge theory, as well as the shaped charge effect theory. The results show that booster pellet 1 and booster pellet 2, under multi-point-synchronous explosive circuits, can initiate standard main charge pellets with less explosive mass than an ordinary cylindrical booster pellet. The initiation capacity of booster pellet 2 is better than that of booster pellet 1.
