Abstract
An arming and safety device for a pyrotechnic chain, the device including a housing presenting an inlet zone for a pyrotechnic stream and an outlet zone for the pyrotechnic stream, an arming element housed in the housing between the inlet and outlet zones and adapted to move between a disarmed position in which it blocks the passage of the pyrotechnic stream and an armed position in which it allows the pyrotechnic stream to pass, and an electric motor for driving the arming element. The stator of the electric motor is situated outside the housing, and the rotor is contained entirely inside the housing.
