COMBINED SMART FUZE AND GUIDANCE SYSTEM WITH REPLACEABLE FUZE MODULE

摘要

A smart fuze system (12) includes a radome (60) used to hold a replaceable smart fuze module (24) in place. An internally-threaded collar (66) screws onto threads on the main body (42) of the smart fuze system. Pressure from the radome presses the smart fuze module against electrical connections (48) in the main body. The smart fuze module may thereby be held in place without potting material, allowing different types of fuzes to be swapped into place. The different types of fuzes may include a type that communicates height of burst (HOB) information a type that communicates telemetry, and a type that communicates both HOB and telemetry information.
