Applications
- Artillery ammunition - 130mm, 155mm calibres
Percussion Fuze
These fuzes detonate the explosive charge when the munition hits the target. The detonation action can be programmed to explode on impact or delayed explosion after impacting. The fuze body is made out of steel for increased reliability when used with high velocity shells in high temperature environments.
Salient Features
