A high shock survivable fuze, system, and method are presented. At least one shock-survivable fuze that survives a high shock environment comprises a timer, a detonator, and a protective housing. The timer sends a fire signal after a programmed delay in response to an arming command. The detonator initiates an explosion in an explosive in response to the fire signal, and the protective housing protects the timer and the detonator from the high shock environment. An arming module communicates with the at least one shock-survivable fuze and sends the arming command.
