ABSTRACT:
A safety and arming device for a directed missile warhead using a rotor hng a plurality of explosive paths therethrough. A central shaft guides axial and rotary movement of said rotor. Missile launch is sensed and unlatches the rotor. Missile launch acceleration causes the rotor to move axially. Receipt of a second signal causes the rotor to rotate, thereby arming the device by aligning the explosive paths and the detonators. Circuit breakers may also be included on the housing and rotor to produce a continuous electrical path for the firing circuits only when the device is armed.
