FMU-105A/B Guided Cluster Bomb Proximity Fuze.

Abstract

The purpose of this program was to evaluate the FMU-105A/B Guided Cluster Bomb Proximity Fuze while operating in either a sinusoidal or random vibration environment. Additionally, an antenna system was developed for the FMU-105A/B for use on the GBU-1/B, GBU-2/B and Guided SUU-S1 munitions. The FMU-105A/B is a modification of the FMU-56C/B Proximity Fuze to provide a proximity fuzing capability for laser guided cluster munitions. The system which is self-contained is activated through lanyard initiation and provides an explosive output at the preset height-of-burst. The program was performed in two major phases: a vibration probe and a reliability demonstration test. The vibration probe phase consisted of system evaluation of the FMU-105A/B electronics assembly while operating in various levels of sinusoidal and random vibration. The reliability demonstration test phase was used to verify that normal system operation was obtainable when the systems were operated within the vibration environment established in the vibration probe phase of the program.
