Patent ID: 7895947

Claim:
A method for preventing an accidental explosive event of a warhead, comprising: providing a weapons system having a warhead explosive, a warhead fuse having a warhead detonator effective for detonating the warhead explosive, at least one booster lead carrier being positioned between the warhead detonator and the warhead explosive, and, at least one booster lead segment within the booster lead carrier, wherein one of the warhead detonator and said at least one booster lead carrier is rotatably effective for alignment of the warhead detonator, and wherein said at least one booster lead segment forms a detonation chain between the warhead detonator and the warhead explosive; and rotating one of said at least one booster lead segment and said warhead detonator out of alignment from each other, wherein a detonation of one of said at least one booster lead segment and said warhead detonator provides insufficient energy transfer for warhead explosive detonation.
