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 :
Ensures missile safety during handling, transportation, storage, and launch, with staged interlocks for controlled warhead detonation
Microcontroller/FPGA-based unit manages power supply, subsystem communication, and arming/detonation signal generation
ADM (Arming & Detonating Mechanism) features dual redundant arming mechanisms (rotor/sliding) with sleeve slider ball lock for safety
Includes impact and launch force sensors, squib holder, rotor/sliding assembly, igniter holder, and detonator with booster
ECU and ADM are interconnected via an interfacing card for synchronized, reliable operation
