ABSTRACT:
The conditions for detonating a follow-up charge in a dual stage weapon are etected for detonating the follow-up charge either instantaneously or after a time delay. An instantaneous detonation is caused when the dual stage weapon should not penetrate sufficiently through a target surface or when the weapon rebounds. A delayed detonation is intended when the dual stage weapon has penetrated a target. The delayed detonation shall be responsive, preferably randomly, to an approach to the weapon. This type of control of the weapon detonation in response to different detonating conditions is accomplished by using two, preferably three acceleration or vibration sensors producing signals which are evaluated for determining the respective detonating condition.
