Indirect Fire & Fuze ARDEC Support.
Abstract
Analysis: Evaluated Micro Electro-mechanical Systems (MEMS) component alternatives to increase sources of supply and lower cost; affects 40mm High Explosive Point Detonating grenade munitions. Conduct engineering test to verify MEMS component alternatives. Study improvements on M734A1/M783 mortar fuze delay primer. Block Upgrades: Determined that Proximity Sensor can physically fit in existing 30mm HEDP M789 round and continued fabrication of fuze components. Integrate new Proximity Sensor components and conduct engineering test to prove-out design. Analyze proximity fuze electronic upgrades for High Explosive and White Phosphorus mortar rounds. Test packing clip improvement on full range mortar training rounds.
