The SAM-AK NG is an Electro Mechanical Single Shot Safety and Arming Mechanism (SAM) designed for airborne applications. Its primary function is to ensure multiple safety conditions are met and to initiate warhead detonation upon receiving a valid command. It responds to Armament On-Board Computer (AOBC) signals and plays a critical role in maintaining missile safety during handling, transportation, storage, and launch. The system integrates a rotor-based Arming and Detonation Mechanism (ADM) and dual-redundant acceleration sensing.

- Safe Mode:Prevents accidental detonation during pre-launch phases.
- Arm on Launch:Automatically arms upon launch through detection of setback and acceleration forces.
- Command-Based Detonation:The ADM is activated by valid ECU firing pulses based on mission commands.
- Dual-Redundant Acceleration Sensing:Ensures safe and reliable activation through both electrical and mechanical acceleration feedback.
- Digital Input Configuration:Supports mission logic through 8 digital isolated inputs and 4 configurable outputs.
Fuze Safety:
The ADM prevents any energy transfer to the detonator unless all arming conditions are met, ensuring safety even under failure modes. The rotor-based mechanism physically isolates the explosive path until launch validation.
Distant Arming:
SAM-AK NG arms remotely based on detection of launch dynamics, particularly setback and acceleration events, confirming flight before enabling detonation pathways.
FUZE ACTION:
Once armed, the system initiates warhead detonation upon receiving ECU signals and sensing valid impact or acceleration data. The design allows for flexible engagement logic tailored to the mission.
