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 envelope: - a) Max Altitude : 18 km or more b) Mach No. : 1.5 or more c) ‘G’ Loading : -4g to +7.5g d) Ambient Operating temp: -50°C to +71°C The Proximity sensor: a) Should be able to be mounted inside existing Aerial Bomb Fuze. b) Should activate Fuze firing circuit at height of 9±3M from target at all weather conditions and terrain. c) Should be immune to external RF noise d) Should have no maintenance through its entire life cycle. e) Reliability ≥ 95% f) Shelf Life : Minimum 15-years with the required reliability The Proximity sensor is assembled inside plastic (Noryl, GFN2) enclosure (Radome) and potted with polyurethane potting material.
