To develop Proximity Sensor of Artillery Fuzes for activating Fuze firing circuit at height of 10±6M from target

The Proximity sensor:

• Should be mountable inside existing Artillery Proximity Fuze cone.
• Should be preferably based on FMCW technology.
• Should activate Fuze firing circuit at height of 10±6M from target at all weather conditions and terrain.
• Should survive the Artillery Gun firing acceleration of Up to 20,000 g and 20,000 rpm.
• 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.
• Operating conditions of -30°C to +55°C upto Altitude of 6000 M above MSL.
• The Proximity sensor is to be assembled inside plastic (Noryl, GFN2) enclosure (Radome) and potted with polyurethane potting material.
