Methods and Devices For Enabling Safe/Arm Functionality Within Gravity Dropped Small Weapons Resulting From a Relative Movement Between the Weapon and a Rack Mount

摘要

A method for determining one or more of an impact level and direction of a weapon as it strikes a target. The method including: providing an elastic element in the weapon; providing a piezoelectric member attached to the elastic element such that elongation and/or depression of the elastic element will generate an electrical power output from the piezoelectric member; and determining the impact level based on the output of the piezoelectric member.
