ABSTRACT:
A fuze self-neutralizing system is used for munitions having fuzes with sng-forced sliders (13) and stab detonators (19). The self-neutralizing components include an auxiliary battery (5), a auxiliary timing circuit (3) and a physical barrier (11) that prevents the firing pin (18) from contacting the stab detonator (19). Once the barrier (1) is in place, the munition can be handled with relative safety.
