Abstract
A setback switch device is provided which, upon launch, can arm an explosive or pyrotechnic device for military gun launched applications. An included bridgewire shunt feature can also prevent the unintended arming, or accidental arming by a stray voltage before any launch is undertaken, of such explosive or pyrotechnic device.
