English term or phrase: safe-and-arm mechanism
FIG. 5 presents a table illustrating the effect of
the use of blast-shaping arrangement 140 compared to
the conventional approach of increasing the stand-off distance
at which the warhead is detonated. For the purpose
of this description and the appended claims, "zero standoff"
is defined as a design in which detonation of the warhead
occurs on contact of the front end of the casing with
the target surface without provision of any dedicated
structure designed to extend the forward part of the casing
beyond what is necessary to house the required internal
components. The normal structure of a warhead
typically includes a fuze arrangement including an impact
sensor, a safe-and-arm mechanism, a detonation train
and a booster pellet, all contributing to a certain built-in
spacing between the front of the explosive charge and
the nose of the casing in the "zero standoff case. This
built-in spacing typically corresponds to about
one "caliber" (i.e., the outer diameter of the body of the
warhead casing).

Explanation:
safe-and-arm mechanism = safety and arming mechanism: A dual function device which prevents the unintended activation of a main charge or propulsion unit prior to arming, but allows activation thereafter upon receipt of the appropriate stimuli. Dictionary of Military and Associated Terms. US Department of Defense 2005. - see https://www.thefreedictionary.com/safety and arming mechanis...

Das zweite Segment besteht aus einer Autopiloteinheit und einem Sprengkopf mit einem Sicherungs- und Scharfschaltmechanismus. - see
