Fuzes
Rocket fuzes are primarily classified by their
location in the warhead; for example, nose fuze or base
fuze. They are further classified by mode of operation,
such as impact-firing, mechanical-time, acceleration
and deceleration, or proximity. All fuzes contain
safety/arming devices to prevent detonation during
normal transporting, handling, and launching of the
complete rocket.
A representative fuze from each class is discussed
in the following paragraphs. The fuzes currently in use
and their primary application are listed in table 2-3. For
more detailed information on fuzes, refer to Airborne
Rockets, NAVAIR 11-85-5.
