• Arming requires setback and spin

environments. The fuze satisfies
MIL-STD-1316E

• A turns-to-arm feature provides

for safe separation distances which
are proportional to projectile diameters

• Hand settable super quick or delay functions

• The delay function mode provides for

maximum penetration of the target prior to
detonation of the projectile

• A rain and foliage disintegrator prevents

early functions in heavy rain and during
canopy (foliage) penetration

• Graze functioning capability

• An improved S&A has been

incorporated to prevent an armed
or partially armed S&A from being
installed into the fuze
