Engineering Design Handbook. Ammunition Series. Fuzes, Proximity, Electrical. Part One

Abstract

The purpose of these handbooks is twofold: (1) to provide basic design data for the experienced fuze designer, and (2) to acquaint new engineers in the fuze field with the basic principles and techniques of modern fuze design. These handbooks present fundamental operating principles and design considerations for electrical fuzes and their components, with particular emphasis on proximity fuzes. A Glossary is included in which terms that are unique to the fuze field, or that have special meaning in the fuze field, are defined.
