Technical Manual for Electronic Safety and Arming Devices with Non- Interrupted Explosive Trains

Abstract

Munition fuzes historically have utilized sensitive explosive elements whose output has been physically interrupted until arming. Control of the arming process in these fuzes was accomplished by mechanical means. The advent and rapid advancement in solid state electronics has furnished alternatives for fuze safety design. In recent years, advances in explosive initiation elements have provided an option for eliminating the need for physical interruption of the explosive train. The application of these technological advances is addressed in this manual.
