Design and Development of a Mechanical Low Drag Fuze Sensor.

Abstract

This report summarizes the effort expended towards the development of a bi-directional, mechanical low drag fuze sensor (LDFS) that, in conjunction with a mechanical safing and arming device, can differentiate between captured and free-fall flight of a bomb and enable fuze arming only in the case of the latter. Also developed during this program was support hardware (a drive/timer mechanism) that could be used to power and monitor the LFDS during flight tests. (Author)
