Safety device

A safety device for use with a munition, the munition including a munition explosive and a safe and arm (S&A) device for activation of the munition explosive, the safety device comprising:

• a switch member, configured for mounting the S&A device thereto, said switch member being movable between at least two switch positions while carrying the S&A device therewith, said at least two switch positions including:
• a first switch position, being an arming prevention position (APP), in which arming communication between the munition explosive and the S&A device is prevented;
• and
• a second switch position, being an arming enabling position (AEP), in which arming communication between the munition explosive and the S&A device is allowed;
• an actuation mechanism for selectively moving said switch member at least from said APP to said AEP to thereby enable the S&A device, when armed, to detonate the munition explosive via the switch member.

A munition, comprising:

• a munition explosive;
• a safe and arm (S&A) device for activation of munition explosive;
• a safety mechanism comprising:
• a switch member, configured for mounting the S&A device thereto, said switch member being movable with the S&A device between at least two positions including:
• an arming prevention position (APP), in which arming communication between the munition explosive and the S&A device is prevented;
• and
• an arming enabling position (AEP), in which arming communication between the munition explosive and the S&A device is allowed;
• an actuation mechanism for selectively moving said switch member at least from said APP to said AEP to thereby enable the S&A device, when armed, to detonate the munition explosive.
