reportActive / Technical Report | Accession Number: AD0900941 | Open PDF

Abstract:

All phases of a complete development program for this fuze were carried out with a goal of developing a safe and reliable long delay fuze that is compatible with available subsonic and supersonic delivery systems. The final result of this development program was a long delay 1.0 hour to 199 hour bomb fuze compatible with retarded or nonretarded bomb systems in either nose or tail fuze well installations.
