Abstract
A system for selecting the mode of detonating a cluster warhead. The warh consists of a number of bomblets which are configured to be packaged into a warhead cannister. An explosive switch is initiated which permanently opens the dispersing circuit and prevents the bomblets from being dispensed and the warhead is exploded in the unitary mode. Failure to open the dispersing circuit will permit the warhead to disperse and each bomblet will explode individually.
