An air-droppable sealed warhead cannister containing a plurality of bomblets each having a pressure sensitive explosive fuze provided with a fluid inlet port: means including a power source connected to the cannister for pressurizing said cannister in flight with a fluid at a predetermined event by admitting fluid pressure through said port to activate the fuzes to commit-to-arm condition; means for fragmenting said cannister at a second predetermined event to disperse said bomblets into the atmosphere, and exhaust said pressure in the fuze to the atmosphere through said inlet port; means for advancing the fuzes to an armed position when said pressure is exhausted; whereby all of said fuzes can be committed-to-arm simultaneously after the cannister has reached a safe distance from the launching platform, the fuzes being advanced to armed conditions when said cannister is fragmented and the bomblets dispersed.
