This is what is being used in smart munitions now. Survives well over
15,000 Gs.

I saw this in the
"For comparison, dropping a laptop produces a shock of about 2 to 4 g's. "

Where did they come up with that nonsense? Maybe by dropping it into a box
of styrofoam peanuts. Just dropping it a few inches on a hard surface is
many more G's than that. For only 14,000 G's, they must have crashed their
high-speed ordinance into something fairly soft.

The guidance package isn't expected to survive impact with the target; it
just has to make it through launch. Of course, that could be out of a
cannon. I agree about the laptop, though.

Guidance, yes. But what about a detonator for a penetrator bomb? They
have to break through several steel-reinforced floors, detect some
predetermined condition* and then initiate detonation. Those suckers
must be tough. Nearly as dense as M.P.'s skull. ;-)

*Some just count levels (empty space between floors).

Like the empty space between your ears.

Others have side
looking sensors to detect occupants, electronic emmisions or some other
target characteristics.

Bunker buster bombs are most often set up as pre-programmed
penetrators that have a penetration impact, and then a delay period
before the main charge explodes.
