Single-point munition arming interface

A single-point munition arming interface for safeing and arming a munition canister, the single-point munition arming interface comprising:

• a mounting bracket having a first mounting bracket arm and a second mounting bracket arm and defining an opening for receiving a breech of a munition canister;
• an electrical interface mounted through the mounting bracket for making an electrical connection with the munition canister;
• a retaining arm for interfacing with a munition plunger of a canister safe and arm device;
• and
• a center rod vertically supported by but axially unrestrained by the first mounting bracket arm and the second mounting bracket arm;
• an arming lever hingedly connected to a proximate end of the center rod such that a rotation of the arming lever causes the center rod to translate axially;
• an arming plate further comprising a base, a first arming plate arm and a second arming plate arm and positioned between the first arm and the second arm of the mounting bracket with the center rod extending through the first arming plate arm and the second arming plate arm;
• a locking lug sized and dimensioned to interface with a canister locking key and positioned slidably on the center rod between the first arming plate arm and the second arming plate arm;
• a lug spring surrounding the center rod between the locking lug and the second arming plate arm;
• and
• wherein a rotation of the arming lever causes the center rod to translate axially toward the arming lever thereby simultaneously causing the arming plate and the locking lug to translate axially toward the arming lever and the locking lug interacting with a locking key on a canister and the arming mechanism interacting with a slider of the canister safe and arm device.
