ABSTRACT:
The present invention consists of a safe and arming device and method that utilizes a combination of linear and angular accelerometers to determine the type of weapon being used. From a determination of the type of weapon an arming distance is looked-up and divided by the linear velocity to provide an arming delay time. When the delay time has elapsed an actuator is activated thereby arming the munition.
