Patent ID: 8516940

Claim:
Electronic programming system for programmable munitions implemented in a firearm, said system adapted to send information to a detonating fuse of an ammunition, which stores the information inside the detonating fuse, and adapted to receive information on the characteristics of the ammunition from the detonating fuse; said firearm, comprising at least one firearm-control unit, for controlling systems implemented in said firearm; said electronic programming system comprising at least one actuation mechanism, for providing an electrical coupling to the detonating fuse, and a programmer-control device, which, via interfaces, manages data flows for communication both with the detonating fuse and with the firearm-control unit; wherein the actuation mechanism is controlled by the programmer-control device such that movement of the actuation mechanism is always synchronous with the systems implemented in said firearm, which are managed by the firearm-control device and adapted to enable the firearm to deflagrate an ammunition; and at least one actuation section, from which the programmer-control device receives the data for programming the ammunition, to manage the movements of the actuation mechanism via an actuation-driving circuit comprised therein and to communicate with the programmer-control device.
