  • Trajectory adaptive safety-arming device
    Patent number: 4099466
    Abstract: A safety-arming device for use in a highly maneuverable missile is disclo which takes into account lateral acceleration of the missile and selects the proper point in the trajectory after which arming of the missile warhead may safely proceed.
