To develop Proximity Sensor of Aerial Bomb Fuze for activating Fuze firing circuit

The Proximity Sensor should function correctly when the Fuze is subjected to the following carriage envelop:

• Max Altitude: 18 km or more
• Mach Number: 1.5 or more
• ‘G’ Loading: -4g to +7.5g
• Ambient Operating temp: -50°C to +71°C

The Proximity sensor:

• Should be mountable inside existing Aerial Bomb Fuze.
• Should activate Fuze firing circuit at height of 9±3m from target at all weather conditions and terrain.
• Should be immune to external RF noise.
• Should have no maintenance through its entire life cycle.
• Reliability ≥ 95%
• Shelf Life: Minimum 15-years with the required reliability.
• The Proximity sensor is to be assembled inside plastic (Noryl, GFN2) enclosure (Radome) and potted with polyurethane potting material.
