Fuzes

Description

EBA&D has designed, developed and produced fuzes to meet the specific needs of the minefield breaching community. Typically, these fuzes rely on mechanical arming and firing to initiate explosive line charges used for clearing a breached path through a series of mines or obstacles. Arming is either performed manually, or the fuze may be armed and initiated by the actuation force of the rocket motor used to deploy the line charge. Fuzes are designed to meet the requirements of MIL-STD-1316. Our expertise in the application of pyrotechnic delay materials, our ability to manufacture linear, metal-sheathed product, and heritage designs incorporating mechanical initiation devices gives us a unique capability in supporting this critical product line.
