Anti-fratricide responsive ordnance system

A post-fire, non-interrogation-based anti-fratricide responsive ordnance system to protect a friendly force from an approaching ordnance by disarming the approaching ordnance upon entering a kill radius of the friendly force, and by re-arming the ordnance upon exiting the kill radius, the system comprising:

• a transmitter that emits a friendly force signal that progressively weakens;
• wherein the transmitter is located in proximity to the friendly force;
• wherein the transmitter defines two zones:
• a strong friendly force signal zone as a zone between the transmitter and a distance outlined by a strong friendly force threshold;
• and
• a weak friendly force signal zone as a zone outlined between the strong friendly force threshold and a weak friendly force threshold;
• an ordnance receiver mounted onboard the ordnance;
• wherein the ordnance receiver includes:
• a receiver element that receives the transmitted friendly force signal;
• a power and signal detector that recognizes the received friendly force signal and that further determines a power level of the friendly force signal in comparison to the strong friendly force threshold and the weak friendly force threshold;
• upon determining that the power level of the friendly force signal has exceeded the strong friendly force threshold, the power and signal detector transmitting a disarm command signal to a safe and disarm mechanism;
• and
• in response to the disarm command signal, the safe and disarm mechanism disarms a fuze that prevents the detonation of the ordnance.
