ABSTRACT:
The present invention comprises an electronic Explosive Ordnance Disposal (EOD) circuit which is desirably used with fused explosive weapons, such as projectiles having a nominal mission time. After expiration of the mission time, if the explosive has not detonated, the inventive circuit controls the energy supplied to the fuse detonation circuit to a level that is less than a threshold level required by the fuse for detonation, thereby preventing subsequent detonation of the explosive.
