Development of Smart Ammunition and Programming System for existing 40mm L70 Gun of Indian Army
As part of this challenges fwg are to be developed: -
a) Smart Ammunition. 40mm ammunition consisting of primer, cartridge case, propellent, pre- fragmented shell and smart fuse. Smart fuse should have multiple modes of operation such as Air Burst, Proximity, Gated Proximity, Impact Detonation, Time Delay and Self-Destruction. In addition, the fuse should be resistant to ECM.
b) Programming System. Programming System will be responsible for programming the smart fuse before firing each round after taking required inputs (such as but not limited to muzzle velocity, meteorologicaldata & target parameters) automatically from sensors installed on the gun and from the fire control radar. Requisite sensors for fitment on to the gun should also be designed as part of this challenge.
c) Integration. Integration of Programming System with the in-service 40mm L/70 gun as an external fitment without major modification to the gun.
