Interfacing the XM36E1 Fuze Setter and the TACFIRE Tactical Computer

Abstract

By two different approaches, the XM36E1 fuze setter can be interfaced with the Tactical Fire Direction System (TACFIRE) tactical computer. One approach uses standard complementary metal oxide semiconductor (CMOS) logic; the second approach uses a microprocessor to provide a 'smart' interface. Both approaches recognize the time-setting portion of a fire-mission message as presented on the TACFIRE display at the battery level. This information is used to program the XM36E1 to set either the XM587E2 or the XM724 time fuze to the specified time. The battery personnel only have to place the setter on the fuze to be set.
