Abstract
The invention aims to increase the overflight safety of a projectile, comprising a time-fuse which has an acceleration-activated battery. To this end, the safety device actuates a switch, whose position is interrogated during the flight phase and the fuse function is deactivated, if the switch is not in the correct position.
Claims19
Electronic projectile time detonator with an electronic control unit (3), which with a first input (Up) is connected to a programming interface (12, 15) for the input of a time program, with a voltage regulator (2) which supplies the electronic control unit (3) from programming information or via an acceleration-activated battery (1) at a second input (Uv) with voltage, and with a mechanical safety device (9, 10) which enables an ignition stage upon its activation, characterized in that a switch (5) actuated by the mechanical safety device (9, 10) is disposed, which connects the input of the voltage regulator (2) with a third input (Us) of the electronic control unit (3), with a finishing out of the time program becoming only possible with the actuated switch (5).
