Patent ID: 7849798

Claim:
A method of exploding a warhead attached to a fuze having a fuze housing, comprising: accelerating the fuze to move a setback slider from a safe position to a latched position, thereby freeing a first lock on an arming slider; decelerating the fuze; sending a command arm electrical signal to a second lock to free the second lock on the arming slider; moving the arming slider to an armed position, if a deceleration of the fuze is greater than a spring force on the arming slider; sensing an impact using an accelerometer; sending a fire signal to an explosive initiator; detonating a transfer charge disposed in the arming slider, if the arming slider is in the armed position; and detonating the warhead wherein the fuze includes a fuze slider having a first position inside the fuze housing and a second position at least partially out of the fuze housing; the method further comprising detonating the warhead only if the fuze slider is in the second position.
