The Worst-Case Mathematical Theory of Safe-Arming

Abstract

The safety and reliability of in-line safe/arming devices is analyzed quantitatively by a three step process: a generalized definition of the safe/ arming function is developed, an analytical methodology to implement the safe/ arm definition is constructed, and some proposed in-line devices are evaluated using the quantitative methodology.
