Accurate setting of large-calibre fuzes
Inductive programming
For tactical or safety reasons, an artillery fuze may only be armed at a particular distance and timespan away from the launch tube or storage location of the projectile. For this purpose, KNDS Deutschland Mission Electronics and KNDS Deutschland together developed both a stationary and a highly mobile solution for the inductive programming of large-calibre artillery fuzes.
Focus on safe handling
This course of action ensures that ammunition does not explode unplanned due to improper handling or other external influences during operations. At the same time, it is ensured that data is transmitted quickly and securely during rapid fire. For this purpose, the unit provides a software environment for the programming application.
Performance overview:
- Inductive programming of munitions
- Communication according to STANAG 4369
- Data transmission according to AOP 22
- Supports customer-specific programming applications
- Supports customer-specific UI applications
- Functional safety according to DIN EN 61508
