(57) A control arrangement (8) for controlling the arming of a bomb comprises: predetermined
delay means (28) for delaying the arming of the bomb for a predetermined time after
an arm signal is applied to the predetermined delay means, and force sensitive delay
means (10-22, 26-30) for delaying the application of an arm signal to the predetermined
delay means until the forces on the bomb have reached a pre- determined level. The arming of the bomb is thus automatically delayed, in addition to the fixed hold-off
time provided by the predetermined delay means, by whatever hold-off time is necessary
for the bomb to enter the downward part of its trajectory.
