Warhead enable switch for use in a missile

摘要

An electrically operated warhead enable switch utilizes a dual solenoid drive mechanism in conjunction with a DC lock solenoid mechanism to sense a plurality of unique enable signals and in response thereto permits the driving of a differential which is mechanically coupled to a biased output shaft. The output shaft when rotated a specific number of degrees closes the terminals of a plurality of functioning switches and thereby allows the enabling of a missile's warhead circuitry.
