An electronic safe and arm device for generating a trigger signal for initiating detonation of a flying plate detonator. A toroidal trigger capacitor surrounds the electronics of the device and will be shorted to disable the safe and arm device if damage occurs thereto. First and second sensor switches responsive to selected flight parameters control the charging of the trigger capacitor. A normally closed arm enable switch prevents the charging of the trigger capacitor until after break-wire launch has occurred.

A safe and arm device for supplying a triggering signal to an explosive detonator of a shaped charge warhead flown to impact a target comprising: a power source; a toroidally-shaped trigger capacitor surrounding a portion of said shaped charge; means for selectively coupling said power source to said trigger capacitor to charge said trigger capacitor; and means responsive to the impact of the warhead against the target for enabling the discharge of said capacitor to generate said triggering signal.
