AIRBURST AND INERTIA IMPACT FUZE ASSEMBLY FOR MUNITIONS

摘要

A fuze assembly for a bomb is shown. This assembly includes a firing device in which a squib is detonated within a chamber to drive a firing pin against a detonator charge to detonate a bomb. The squib is exploded by any suitable means such as a proximity sensor to obtain an airburst explosion of the bomb. An inertia ball, in the same chamber, causes the firing pin to strike the detonator charge upon impact of the bomb on a target, in the event the squib does not perform this function.
