B400 MK 80 Bomb Proximity Fuze

FEATURES

The Fuze is an Electronic Proximity type, designed for us on:

  • All calibers with 2’’ fuze cavity, i.e. NATO configuration
  • All calibers with M52 cavity, i.e WARSAW configuration
  • MK 80 series bombs using T45/M148 Booster

The Electronic safety time is user selectable: 4 - 18 in 2 seconds.

Point detonation super quick action serves as a backup to the proximity mode.

The fuze incorporates new state of the art technology using SFMCW, a proprietary technology ensuring height of burst accuracy of 6 meters ± 2 meters, also rendering the fuze immune to mutual interference, enemy jamming and battlefield disturbances such as dust, smoke and other radio emissions, utilizing comprehensive signal processing technology. Enhanced life cycle (no batteries or stored energy) increases shelf life up to 15 years if stored in original packaging in controlled depot condition environment.
