In addition to PAL protection, the fuzing used in nuclear weapons features multiple, highly sophisticated environmental sensors e . g . sensors requiring highly specific acceleration and deceleration profiles before the warhead can be fully armed.

In April 1952 fuze development was shifted to Bell which resulted because it was USAF policy to make airframe contractors responsible for nuclear weapons fuzing since this system needed to be integrated with the missile's guidance system.
23.
If the gun is loaded, you might hit the fuzing mechanism of the round, or even clog the barrel, which would get cleared out when the cannon is fired, possible with damage to the barrel.
24.
Lethal rounds are usually fitted with an inertial fuzing system which arms the warhead after it has rotated a set number of times, in order to prevent the user from harming themselves if a grenade encounters a nearby obstruction.
25.
In 2006, BAE Systems AB began to offer the Bofors 57 mm 3P all-target programmable ammunition, this allows three proximity fuzing modes as well as settings for time, impact, and armor-piercing functions.
26.
It is fitted with a multi-mode imaging semi-active seeker that can be guided through laser designation or autonomous targeting by downloading image of the target prior to firing; ORKA retains the 3P multiple fuzing modes.
27.
The main operational roles are : firing from internal storage; firing for elevator-ground-piled ammunition; loading from elevator-external pile; synthesising fire programs; unloading; manual firing; identification; and fuzing and checks.
28.
Both OZM-3 and OZM-4 have cast iron fragmenting bodies while the OZM-72 also contains preformed steel fragments, and all three are issued with empty fuze wells, so a variety of fuzing options are possible.
29.
The warhead section, just aft of the guidance section, contains the proximity fused warhead, safety-and-arming device, fuzing circuits and antennas, link antenna switching circuits, auxiliary electronics, inertial sensor assembly, and signal data converter.

While missile accuracy was excellent, there were some problems with missile fuzing . . . " In the first week of June, in the Nevada Desert, a Hellfire missile was successfully launched on a replica of bin Laden's Afghanistan Tarnak residence.
