A system for quick arming of a detonation or excitation assembly, wherein the system comprises a first barrier means which, as long as it has not been removed, prevents full activation of an initiation chain of the assembly, and whose removal is dependent on receiving indication from at least one first sensor, and then its removal is reversible in a manner that it will return and once again prevent full activation of an initiation chain, and a second barrier means which also prevents full activation of the initiation chain as long as it has not been removed, and whose removal is dependent on receiving indication from at least one second sensor, and this - following after receiving indication from the first sensor, and removal of the second sensor is irreversible in a manner that leaves the initiation chain executable, and wherein the first and second sensors are independent of one another, and as long as no indication has been received from the second sensor, the first barrier means is returnable to its place in a manner that will return and once again prevent full activation of the initiation chain, and an active protection system utilizing a plurality of those quick arming system for activation of the protection system's interceptors while implementing a method for quick and selective arming of the active protection system's detonation or excitation assemblies.
A rigid or flexible protection element for reactive protection against shaped charge warheads and kinetic energy projectiles comprises a metallic or ceramic powder dispersed within a matrix of plastic explosive and a binder.
An explosive system and corresponding method employ a number of explosive portions, each of sub-critical dimensions so that initiation of the portion would result in incomplete detonation. A selectively-deployable spacer arrangement or deployment mechanism is deployed between a storage state in which gaps or misalignments are maintained between the explosive portions so that the explosive system remains undetonatable, and a detonable state in which the portions are brought together sufficiently to function as a combined explosive charge having effective dimensions larger than critical dimensions, rendering the explosive system detonatable.

WARHEAD FOR GENERATING A BLAST ON AN EXTENDED REGION OF A TARGET SURFACE
The present invention relates to warheads with blast wave conditioners and in particular to devices for quickly removing a door to permit entry through the doorway. It discloses a device and method of shaping the pressure wave pattern by the use of inert material. The inert material of the present invention is used to reduce localized directional effects occurring at the point of impact, instead generating a more diffuse pressure-wave pattern across the target surface.

An RPG disruption system (RDS) for protecting an enclosure against RPG's, the system comprising a casing fixed in close proximity to a wall of the enclosure facing an anticipated RPG threat. The casing comprises an anvil accommodating a propelling mechanism for propelling the disrupting element, and an activating system for activating the propelling mechanism so as to propel the disrupting element towards an approaching RPG, to thereby neutralize it.
The invention relates to a harmonic radar system which comprises: (a) at least two transmitting units for simultaneously, and in synchronization transmitting electromagnetic radiation in distinct frequencies f1, f2,f3 ... towards a space of interest; and (b) at least one receiving unit tuned to a frequency of nf1 mf2+qf3... , wherein n,m,q... being integers not equal to zero, for receiving a non-linear response of said radiation from objects located within the said space of interest.
