Design and Test of Prototype Safe Separation Sensors (SSS) and an Instrument Control Package (ICP)
Abstract
A research and development program was conducted to demonstrate the ability of a Safe Separation Sensor (SSS) to accurately determine arming distances for conventional warhead missile (S and A). The basic sensing concept was that used in the Air Force SRAM Missile. This device detects single axis acceleration and performs a double integration to provide arming distance information. During this program, the device was successfully miniaturized and its g detection range was extended to demonstrate compatibility with conventional munition requirements. Arming range accuracies achieved represent a significant improvement over techniques now used in S and A systems. Prototype SSS's and an Instrument Control Package (ICP) were furnished for sponsor evaluation.
