Safe and Arm Device Switches for Military Fuzing
Safe and arm devices are essential to modern military fuzing systems, controlling when a fuze transitions from a safe condition to an armed state. These devices are used across missiles, rockets, bombs, artillery, mortars, naval munitions, and programmable fuze systems. At the core of each design are military fuzing switches engineered to prevent unintended activation while ensuring reliable arming under defined operational conditions.

Frequently Asked Questions
They keep the fuze safe during storage, handling, and launch, then transition it to an armed state only after verified conditions occur.
It detects launch forces and enables arming logic once a defined G-threshold is met.
A G-switch for fuzing is an acceleration-sensitive device used as a primary or redundant arming input.
They may be mechanical, electronic, or hybrid, depending on system requirements.
Proximity, impact, and time fuzes all rely on safe and arm devices.
