ABSTRACT:
An article of submunition including a fuze or detonating device which can be armed in dependence upon environmental conditions, and wherein the fuze is electrically actuatable from an accumulator or energy storage. The submunition is provided with an in-line detonating medium for the attacking or combat charge of the submunition, whose detonating-energy storage can be connected to an energy source through the interposition of an interrupter across a securing device (safety) which is arranged in a carrier for the submunition. Only a single central securing or safe device is required for all articles of submunitions which are deployable by means of one carrier; in effect, for all fuzes or trigger devices, and this single, central securing device can be arranged within the carrier itself.
