Safety Arming Mechanism - LRGB

Safety Arming Mechanism (SAM) for missiles, ensuring safety during handling, storage, and launch. It integrates an Electronic Control Unit (ECU) and Arming & Detonating Mechanism (ADM) via an interfacing card for controlled warhead detonation.

Key Features :

• SAM Overview: Ensures missile safety during handling, transportation, storage, and launch, with interlocks progressively removed at various flight stages for controlled warhead detonation
• ECU (Electronic Control Unit): Microcontroller/FPGA-based unit that manages power supply, communicates with subsystems, and generates output signals for arming and detonation
• ADM (Arming & Detonating Mechanism): Mechanical subsystem with dual redundant arming mechanisms (rotor and sliding), securing rotors in a safe position using a sleeve slider ball lock
• ADM Specifications: Equipped with impact and launch force sensing assemblies, squib holder, rotor/sliding arming assembly, igniter holder, and a detonator with booster
• Integration: ECU and ADM are interconnected via an interfacing card to enable synchronized and coordinated system operation
• The project involves collaboration with ARDE (Armament Research & Development Establishment).
