30 mm Proximity Fuze

The 30mm automatic gun mount is a Close In Weapon System (CIWS) remotely controlled from the radar fire control system is intended for arming the ships against enemy aircrafts, anti-ship missiles, enemy aircrafts as well as surface boats. The 30mm ammunition used in the gun should be able to engage all kinds of aerial targets/ threat scenarios. The present ammunition gun uses 30mm HE ammunition with Direct Action (DA) & Self Destruction (SD) Fuze. For effective engagement against aerial targets development of proximity/  Programmable fuze for the ammunition is proposed. This would present a definite engagement response against all aerial targets including swarm drones. The proximity effective operation is envisaged approximately between 0.5 to 1 m.
