1. A safety and arming unit for a fuze of a projectile, comprising:
- a firing means disposed to transfer a firing energy thereof to another firing means;
a barrier for selectively interrupting the transfer of the firing energy; and
a safety disposed to lock said barrier in a locking state and to unlock said barrier in dependence on an apogee parameter effected when the projectile flies through an apogee of a projectile trajectory.

Abstract
A safety and arming unit for a fuze of a projectile has a firing means for transferring the firing energy to another firing means and a barrier for interrupting the transfer. The barrier is locked in a locking state by a safety that triggers an unlocking action due to a physical arming parameter. The arming parameter of the novel device is an apogee parameter, effected by the projectile flying through the apogee of its projectile trajectory. A physical arming parameter independent of a launch parameter can be used to unlock the safety means without needing to pull out a safety pin.
