ABSTRACT:
A destruct initiation unit having a high current source connected to a deator by a gap switch which is triggered by either a commanded destruct signal or an auto-destruct signal. A CMOS input logic circuitry provides noise immunity and pulse-width discrimination, and the destruct output from the input logic circuitry is delayed before triggering the gap switch to provide sufficient time to monitor the status of the destruct initiation unit for failure analysis.
