Claim:
1. A multi-mode fuse system for use in a warhead for combating a target, said multi-mode fuse system comprising: at least one target sensor electrically connected to a signal processing block and an I/O-block, wherein said I/O-block is configured to be set by an operator of the warhead, wherein said at least one target sensor is adapted to generate an electrical output signal in response to a rate of deceleration of the warhead, wherein said multi-mode fuse system is adapted to discriminate a hardness of the target based upon the electrical output signal of said at least one target sensor and to select a mode of operation depending upon the target discrimination, wherein the multi-mode fuse system is adapted to discriminate at least one type of target depending upon the electrical output of the at least one target sensor, and wherein the multi-mode fuse system selects one of at least three modes of operation of the warhead.
