This invention is directed to a self-destruct device (10) for an airborne projectile (8, 38). This device includes a navigational system (14) which allows the projectile to determine its own position, and a memory (24) for storing a plurality of positions, some of them are designated as acceptable positions (40) for this projectile, and others as unacceptable (44, 46, 48,). An electronic control unit (12) searches for a location in the memory which corresponds to the position of the projectile as given by the navigational system to determine if this position is acceptable or unacceptable, in which case it initiates a self-destruct signal (26) which causes the projectile to self-destruct. |
