Abstract

A military aircraft bomb arming system suitable for use with an aircraft that is provided with a Lead Electrical Fuze Arming (LEFA) pulse generator that is configured for use with a bomb fuze of the kind having both electrical and mechanical fuze arming means is provided. The system comprises a signal conditioning unit adapted to be connected between said pulse generator and a bomb fuze of a second kind that is intended to be armed by an air driven turbine alternator. The signal conditioning unit is adapted to convert, in use, a LEFA pulse from the pulse generator into a modified pulse suitable for providing a first arming environment to the bomb fuze of the second kind.
The system thus enables UK military aircraft to benefit from the utility offered by some of these international fuzes by providing additional arming safey.
