Abstract
A munitions safety and arming device for artillery ammunition, and an artillery ammunition having the same are provided. The munitions safety and arming device for artillery ammunition includes: a body having a first movement path and a second movement path communicating with the first movement path; a mass body housed in the first movement path and moving from one side of the first movement path to the other side of the first movement path upon receiving centrifugal force based on rotation of an artillery ammunition when the artillery ammunition is fired; a slide member movably installed in the second movement path and slidably moving by a predetermined distance when pressed by the movement of the mass body; and a movement delay unit protruding from the first movement path to reduce the centrifugal force exerted on the mass body to delay a time for the mass body to move.
