ABSTRACT:
An arming unit for selectively causing a munition to be discharged in a safe or an armed condition employs a two section armature. When a coil is energized, a gap between the sections is closed to block movement of a locking pin to prevent operation of a detent mechanism, thereby retaining an arming wire to apply an arming force to the munition. Armature movement is horizontal to render it unresponsive to high shock loads. The detent mechanism may include two mutually engaging curved surfaces that result in a fast acting release.
