ABSTRACT:
A safety device for a projectile is provided which includes a charge adapted to function as either an ignition charge or as a booster and relay charge. The charge comprises at least two components each of which comprises solid particles. These solid particles are disposed in the same cavity in the projectile and are entirely or partly separated. The particles forming the components are arranged in relation to each other such that the two components will be mixed subsequent to the firing of the projectile, responsive to the acceleration, rotation and retardation forces to which the particles are subjected after the projectile is fired. The two components comprise an oxygen donating component and a fuel component, and a third component for promoting mixing of the two may also be included.
