XM587E2/XM724 Electronic Time Fuzes System Verification Test Phase.

Abstract

This report discusses the work performed during the System Verification Test (SVT) phase of engineering development of the XM587E2 and XM724 Electronic Time fuzes. A quantity of 600 fuzes was built and tested in a wide variety of environmental and ballistic conditions. Excellent results were obtained except for firings at zone 3 in the 175-mm gun. A failure analsis and corrective action effort was performed, including testing of fifty fuzes of a revised design. For completeness and continuity of this report, investigations, tests, analyses, and redesign activities performed by the Harry Diamond Laboratories are included. (Author)
