ABSTRACT:
A weapon control for a droppable weapon such as a bomb, has at least two sors for producing impact related or environment related signals for a microcomputer forming part of the weapon. The microcomputer evaluates the signals received from the sensors for producing different control signals for different situations as signified by the sensor produced signals. If the weapon has hit a hard target surface the responsive control signal detonates the weapon instantly. If the weapon got stuck in a soft target, the weapon is placed into a lurking state for a later detonation or defusing.
