  • Patent number: 4712478
    Abstract: An align at fire safe and arm and electrical power supply module 10 for an electronically fuzed land mine 12. The module 10 is removably mounted into the land mine 12. Reserve batteries 16 are contained in the module 10 and are energized when a safety pin 25 is removed during mine emplacement. A slider 30 is located in the module housing 14. When the slider 30 is in its safe position, the firing train 57 of the warhead 65 of the mine 12 is interrupted. When the slider 30 is driven into its armed position by a piston actuator 32 in response to an align signal being produced by the fuzing subsystem 87 of the mine 12, the firing train 57 is completed through a transfer lead 60 located in the slider 30. The firing train detonator 44 may then be functioned by an electrical firing signal produced by the fuzing subsystem which will event the warhead 65. Detonating the firing train detonator 44 before the slider 30 is driven into its armed position, self-neutralizes the mine 12.
