Abstract:
1. An apparatus for time-controlled self-destruction of a projectile, said apparatus comprising: a voltage generator operable to generate a voltage during firing of the projectile; a plurality of capacitors operable to be charged by the voltage generated by said voltage generator; a voltage divider including a first resistor and a second resistor; a comparator having a first input and a second input, wherein at least a first capacitor of said plurality of capacitors is connected via said voltage divider to said first input and at least a second capacitor of said plurality of capacitors is connected to said second input, and said first and second capacitors are adapted to be charged equally by the voltage generated by said voltage generator; and a third resistor connected in parallel with said second capacitor, wherein a resistance of said third resistor is higher than a sum of a resistance of said first resistor and a resistance of said second resistor.
