Fluidic Power Supplies for High-Performance Point-Detonating Fuzes Value Engineering Study,
Abstract
The report describes a value-engineering study conducted on both reed- and modulating-type fluidic power supplies. Although these power supplies have several applications, their application in the high-performance, point-detonating (HP-PD) fuze was chosen to constrain the study with regard to performance, use, and procurement. The results of this VE study show that the modulating-type power supply, using molded plastic body parts, is the most promising alternative for future production emphasis. Estimated procurement costs for this design have been reduced approximately 51 percent as a result of this study. The modulating-type supply is likely to cost $1.00 or less perunit when procured in quantities of 1-million units. In quantities of 10-million units, a unit cost of $0.50 or less is possible.
