Fuze Function Selector.

Abstract

The purpose of the Fuze Function Selector program was to design and develop a method whereby munition fuzing commands and parameters could be selected either before flight or in flight by the pilot and then transferred via a high-speed, two-wire digital communication system to the fuze at the time of munition release. This effort involved the development of digital techniques for information transfer, the design of electronic circuitry for the implementation of these techniques, and the decoding circuitry for interfacing with a digital electronic fuze: the FMU-112/B impact fuze, in particular. Laboratory testing has verified the feasibility of the techniques and the proper functioning of the electronic circuitry. (Author)
