ELECTROMECHANICAL FUZE FOR AN AERIAL BOMB WITH ARMING DELAY SELECTION AND PRE-LAUNCH SAFETY DEVICES

摘要

The present invention relates to a fuze for aerial ammunition, which can be positioned on the rear area or front area of the aerial ammunition. The fuze comprises an arming delay system that allows the delay time to be set before launching the ammunition. The fuze also comprises: a power supply system for electronic devices; a percussion arming mechanism; a safety catch comprising a removable safety pin or bolt, the removal of which triggers the arming of the fuze; and elements that protect the fuze and people against potential accidents, such as a deformation wall that prevents the arming or destruction of the fuze in the event of accidental falls, a blocking mechanism that prevents the fuze from being set prematurely, a non-aligned firing pin that prevents same from being activated for any unintended reason, and a safety cover that prevents the explosive train from being inserted prematurely. In addition, the present invention relates to an adapter device that allows the fuze to be disposed inside the aerial ammunition and the fuze safety catch to be repositioned on the external area of the aerial ammunition, an extension cable connecting the fuze to the adapter device on the tail or elsewhere on the bomb.
