ABSTRACT:
An arming device for a warhead which determines its location on the earth using navigational satellites and compares that location with an internally stored preprogrammed location. The locations must agree before arming can be accomplished, thereby ensuring that the warhead can be armed only at its authorized location. A two-part code system that requires the first part to be entered by an operator and the second part provided by a preprogrammed storage module is also disclosed. Anti-tampering destruction features are also incorporated.
