| Abstract | The development and demonstration of an inertially-operated micro-electro-mechanical systems (MEMS) mechanical safety and arming (S&A) device for artillery and small caliber fuzing has proceeded through concept, analysis, design, initial prototyping, and ballistic demonstration phases. This paper summarizes the implementation of “microscale inertial mechanical logic” for mechanical safety and arming functions in the form of sliders, rotors, latches, springs, and locks that interact on a planar substrate in response to inertially-induced forces, and the technical/fabrication issues encountered in the process. The program is sponsored by the U.S. Army TACOM ARDEC Joint Services Small Arms Program (JSSAP) Office, under the Objective Individual Combat Weapon (OICW) Systems Enhancements Science and Technology Objective (STO). The goal is to rapidly develop, demonstrate and transition lethality-enhancing and weight/cost-reducing technologies into the OICW system to ensure Objective Force Battlefield superiority. |
