NATO Supply Class 1377 refers to Cartridge And Propellant Actuated Devices And Components. This class is part of NATO Supply Group 13, which is dedicated to Ammunition And Explosives.

Cartridge And Propellant Actuated Devices And Components include various items that are used in conjunction with ammunition and explosives. These devices and components are designed to be activated by the propellant charge within a cartridge, and they serve different purposes depending on their specific function.

Some examples of items that fall under NATO Supply Class 1377 include:

1. Cartridge-actuated devices: These are devices that are activated by the pressure generated by the propellant charge in a cartridge. They can be used for various purposes, such as initiating the release of parachutes, deploying airbags, or activating ejection seats in aircraft.

2. Propellant actuated devices: These devices use the energy generated by the burning propellant to perform a specific function. They can be found in applications such as rocket motors, gas generators, or pyrotechnic devices.

3. Initiators and igniters: These components are responsible for initiating the ignition or activation of explosive materials. They can include items such as electric initiators, percussion caps, or squibs.

4. Fuzes and detonators: These are devices used to initiate the detonation of explosives. They can be mechanical, electrical, or electronic in nature and are crucial for controlling the timing and functioning of explosive devices.

It is important to note that NATO Supply Class 1377 covers a wide range of devices and components, each with its own specific purpose and application. These items are essential for the safe and effective use of ammunition and explosives in military and defense operations.
