This report is concerned with multichannel fuze systems in which the channels (component fuzes) are statistically identical, i.e., all have the same probability of early actuation and all have the same proba¬bility of dudding (defined as either non-function or late function). Explicit formulas are developed and numerical values are tabulated for the probability of system proper function, early function and dudding, for all possible series and/or parallel fuze configurations of n Identical channels, where n = 2, 3, A, 5. Formulas are also developed for selecting the optimum configuration so as to maximize the average probability of system proper function when the probabilities of system early function and system dudding are assigned various weights.
