Abstract:

The Arming Device Mk 2 Mod 5 was developed primarily to improve the reliability of the explosive train of the Mk 2 Arming Device. Two hundred arming devices were fabricated and subjected to an extensive development test program. As a result of that test program, the Arming Device Mk 2 Mod 5 was recommended for release to production.
