Abstract
We propose a safe, arm and fire (SAF) device that could constitute a real breakthrough for safe miniature fuzing device. It integrates all the functions of a conventional mechanical arm and fire system and integrates them within 1 cm3. For the first time, it combines a mechanical arming unit with electrical safety functionalities on the same silicon initiator's chip. It requires only 635 mW for ignition.
