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.
Ensures missile safety during handling, transportation, storage, and launch, with interlocks progressively removed at various flight stages for controlled warhead detonation
Microcontroller/FPGA-based unit manages power distribution, interfaces with subsystems, and generates output signals for arming and detonation
ADM (Arming & Detonating Mechanism) is a mechanical subsystem with dual arming mechanisms (rotor and sliding) to ensure redundancy and reliability
Utilizes a sleeve slider ball lock to secure rotors in a safe position until authorized arming
Incorporates impact and launch force sensing assemblies, squib holder, rotor/sliding arming mechanism, igniter holder, and a detonator with booster
ECU and ADM are integrated through an interfacing card to enable coordinated, real-time operation
