1. An incendiary projectile, comprising: a nose portion, to penetrate an intended target;a container portion, disposed behind and in functional connection with the nose portion, and containing a non-detonating incendiary composition; andan inertial ignition system, comprising a first compressible component that compresses upon acceleration in the direction of the nose portion, and expands to initiate an igniter at about termination of an acceleration pulse, wherein the igniter comprises a primer and a firing pin forced together by expansion of the first compressible component, configured to ignite the non-detonating incendiary composition during or at about termination of the acceleration pulse before penetrating a target. 2. The incendiary projectile according to claim 1, wherein the non-detonating incendiary composition is selected from the group consisting of composite propellants, thermites, thermates, and an intermetallic composition. 3. The incendiary projectile according to claim 1, wherein the non-detonating incendiary composition is selected from the group consisting of Ti/B, Ti/B/Viton A, B/Zr, Al/B, C/Ti, Mg/S, Al/CuO, Zr/CuO, Mg/CuO, Ti/CuO, B/CuO, Al/Fe2O3, Ti/Fe2O3, Mg/Fe2O3, Zr/Fe2O3, Zr/MnO2, Mg/Al/KClO4, Si/Zr/Fe2O3/KClO4/NaSiO4, Si/Zr/Fe2O3/KClO4/Viton A, Ti/B/BaCrO4, NH4ClO4/Al/hydroxyl-terminated polybutadiene, NH4ClO4/hydroxyl-terminated polybutadiene, NH4NO3/epoxy, NH4ClO4/Al/polysulfide, NH4ClO4/polysulfide, NH4ClO4/Al/polyvinyl chloride, NH4ClO4/polyvinyl chloride, NH4ClO4/Al/carboxy-terminated polybutadiene, NH4ClO4/carboxy-terminated polybutadiene, NH4NO3/isoprene rubber, and NH4NO3/cellulose acetate. 4. The incendiary projectile according to claim 3, wherein the non-detonating incendiary composition is a thermite or an intermetallic composition. 5. The incendiary projectile according to claim 3, wherein the non-detonating incendiary composition is an intermetallic Ti/B composition. 6. The incendiary projectile according to claim 1, wherein reaction of the non-detonating incendiary composition produces hot gas. 7. The incendiary projectile according to claim 6, wherein the non-detonating incendiary composition is a composite propellant. 8. The incendiary projectile according to claim 1, wherein reaction of the non-detonating incendiary composition produces heat and substantially no gas. 9. The incendiary projectile according to claim 1, wherein the first compressible component comprises a spring. 10. The incendiary projectile according to claim 1, further comprising a second compressible component that prevents initiation of the igniter when the projectile is dropped onto the nose portion from a height of about 3 meters or less. 11. The incendiary projectile according to claim 10, wherein the second compressible component comprises a spring. 12. The incendiary projectile according to claim 1, wherein the inertial ignition system is configured to ignite the non-detonating incendiary composition at about termination of the acceleration pulse. 13. The incendiary projectile according to claim 12, wherein the inertial ignition system is configured in the tail portion of the projectile. 14. The incendiary projectile according to claim 12, wherein the inertial ignition system is configured in the container portion of the projectile. 15. The incendiary projectile according to claim 12, wherein the inertial ignition system is configured in the nose portion of the projectile. 16. The incendiary projectile according to claim 1, wherein the duration of the acceleration pulse is from about 20 to about 80 ms. 17. The incendiary projectile according to claim 1, further comprising a tail portion. 18. The incendiary projectile according to claim 17, wherein the tail portion is configured to contain a portion of the non-detonating incendiary composition and/or the inertial ignition system. 19. A system for the destruction and/or disablement of targets containing explosive or energetic fills, the system comprising: a plurality of incendiary projectiles, as recited in claim 1;a shell from which the incendiary projectiles are dispensed;a propulsion device for providing an acceleration pulse to the shell and the projectiles therein; anda release mechanism for releasing and dispersing the projectiles. 20. The incendiary projectile according to claim 19, wherein the target is a mine.
