Patent ID: 10718600

Abstract:
A system for quick arming of a detonation or excitation assembly, wherein the system comprises a first barrier means which, as long as it has not been removed, prevents full activation of an initiation chain of the assembly, and whose removal is dependent on receiving indication from at least one first sensor, and then its removal is reversible in a manner that it will return and once again prevent full activation of an initiation chain, and a second barrier means which also prevents full activation of the initiation chain as long as it has not been removed, and whose removal is dependent on receiving indication from at least one second sensor, and this—following after receiving indication from the first sensor, and removal of the second sensor is irreversible in a manner that leaves the initiation chain executable, and wherein the first and second sensors are independent of one another, and as long as no indication has been received from the second sensor, the first barrier means is returnable to its place in a manner that will return and once again prevent full activation of the initiation chain, and an active protection system utilizing a plurality of those quick arming system for activation of the protection system's interceptors while implementing a method for quick and selective arming of the active protection system's detonation or excitation assemblies.
