3. This standard establishes specific design safety criteria for fuzes. It applies primarily to the safety and arming functions performed by fuzes for use with munitions. The safety and arming requirements specified herein are mandatory fundamental elements of design, engineering, production and procurement of fuzes. Fuzes shall provide safety that is consistent with assembly, handling, storage, transportation, and disposal.
4. Munition fuzes historically have utilized sensitive explosive elements whose output has been physically interrupted until arming. Control of the arming process in these fuzes was accomplished by mechanical means. The advent and rapid advancement in solid state electronics has furnished alternatives for fuze safety design. In recent years, advances in explosive initiation elements have provided an option for eliminating the need for physical interruption of the explosive train. The application of these technology advances is addressed in the Current revision to these standards.
