Abstract
A multi-directional shock sensor including two masses arranged to move in directions, which are mutually perpendicular to one another. A moveable locking member prevents movement of a slider, which is used in the arming arrangement of a submunition. In response to an acceleration in a plane, one or both masses will move. The masses are operably coupled to the locking member to effect its movement out of its locking engagement with the slider, due to such acceleration.
