Multichannel Fuze Systems Feasibility Study,

Abstract

An analysis is made of multichannel fuze systems, with emphasis on parllel channel systems. The effects on kll probability of the totl number of channels, the number that mus actuate to fire the fuze, and the burst characteristics of each are discussed. The additional effects on fuze relbiliy of the probabilities of early actuation and dudding of the individual channels are also considered. Measures of reliability and kill probaility are combined to yield a figure of merit expressing the degree of attainment of reliable burst control against all intended targets under every anticipated intercept condition.
