Abstract
A fuze mounting assembly for a penetrating weapon configured as a projectable device, the fuze mounting assembly having fasteners, a fuze well and a fuze. The fuze includes an integral bolt flange for securing to the fuze well with the fasteners, wherein an amplification of acceleration of less than 3.0 is satisfied when the penetrating weapon is subjected to impact and penetration shock. Additionally, a projectable device having the fuze is provided. Also, a fuze mounting and a method for mounting a fuze are provided.
Claims44
A fuze mounting assembly of a penetrating weapon configured as projectable device comprising:
- a fuze well;
- and
- a fuze having an integral flange secured to the fuze well by a plurality of circumferentially spaced fasteners, the assembly configured to exhibit an amplification of acceleration of less than 3.0 when subjected to impact and penetration shock responsive to the penetrating weapon projectable device contacting a target.
A fuze mounting assembly of a weapon comprising:
- a fuze well having a receiving well and a recess having a plurality of threaded holes therein;
- and
- a fuze including a fuse housing having an integral flange secured to the fuze well by a plurality of circumferentially spaced fasteners, the assembly configured to exhibit an amplification of acceleration of less than 3.0 when subjected to impact and penetration shock responsive to the penetrating weapon projectable device contacting a target.
A fuze mounting assembly of a weapon comprising:
- a fuze well including a receiving well having a sloped surface on the interior thereof and a recess having a plurality of threaded holes therein;
- and
- a fuze including a fuse housing including an integral flange and a sloped compression wall on the exterior thereof, the fuse housing secured to the fuze well by a plurality of circumferentially spaced fasteners, the assembly configured to exhibit an amplification of acceleration of less than 3.0 when subjected to impact and penetration shock responsive to the penetrating weapon projectable device contacting a target.
A fuze mounting assembly of a weapon comprising:
- a fuze well including a receiving well having a surface on the interior thereof having a threaded portion and a recess having a plurality of threaded holes therein;
- and
- a fuze including a fuse housing including an integral flange and a threaded portion on the exterior thereof, the fuse housing secured to the fuze well by a plurality of circumferentially spaced fasteners, the assembly configured to exhibit an amplification of acceleration of less than 3.0 when subjected to impact and penetration shock responsive to the penetrating weapon projectable device contacting a target.
A fuze mounting assembly of a weapon comprising:
- a fuze well having a receiving well and a recess having a plurality of threaded holes therein;
- and
- a fuze including a fuze housing having an integral flange located in the recess of the fuze well, the fuze housing secured to the fuze well by a plurality of circumferentially spaced fasteners.
