Fuzing System for Hard Target Penetration Warheads

TBRL has developed an electronic safe and arm device (ESAD) based in-time fuzing system for tandem warhead to defeat Hardened and buried structures. The fuzing system is a combination of two fuzes namely precursor charge warhead (PCW) fuze and Follow through projectile warhead (FTP) fuze. The PCW Fuze gets initiated on impact of the weapon with the target whereas the FTP fuze is of post impact delay type and gets initiated after a set delay. The Fuzing command on impact is provided through an impact switch located at the nose of weapon system. FTP fuze is programmable through RS-422 communication link. Adequate safeties as per the bomb requirements for safe handling during storage, transportation and use are provided. This product has successfully completed penetration trials at RTRS in TBRL, Ramgarh Ranges. The product has very good potential for export.
