Abstract
An environmental safety device for a fuzed bomb which is prevented from bg actuated until both the bomb has been positively released from the aircraft and has separated a predetermined distance from the bomb rack. The device comprises a spring-actuated air valve, which when released, extends from the charging well of the bomb such that an inlet port is placed in the slipstream of air flowing thereby. The slipstream is directed via a flexible conduit to an air-actuated fuze located in the nose of the bomb. An exhaust tube encircles the inlet tube so as to direct the exhaust air back through the valve outlet port. A preferred embodiment employs a high performance, point detonation dual channel redundant fuze.
