Claim 6:
7. A missile (M), comprising at least one device for detecting an absence of a mechanical barrier for the missile (M), each of the at least one device comprising:
at least one rod constrained by a first elastic element and provided with an end referred to as free capable of coming into contact with the mechanical barrier, and
at least one cam constrained by a second elastic element, the rod and the cam being configured so that the rod can assume one of the following positions:
a position referred to as initial entry (P1), wherein the rod is held in a stable position between the cam and the mechanical barrier;
