stem-l ll-33th I Background Data A An IR Optical Proximity Fuse herein after known as the Special Fuse from the Soviet ATOLL airwto air missile was sent to the Naval Ordnance Laboratory Corona NOLC for test and evaluation during the summer of 1966 A report entitled Technical Analysis of Speoial Fuse and Comparison with MK 303 Fuse was generated and published by NOLC The report number is 00Tw325 14579m66 This report presents a detailed component analysis of the Speeial Fuse and a description of the operation of the major fuse subassemblies Extensive photographio coverage is present throughout the report The report does not cover any field testing of the special Fuse re garding its operational performance in a simulated mission enviroment nor does it include any analysis of the fuse susceptibility to IRCM systems The report does allow certain basic operational chanacterw istics to be derived from the measurements which were madeo However the lack of field measurement datag fuse susceptibil ty to flare IRCM data and other specific component analysis requires that additional exploitation be accomplished The present exploitation 5 program will meet these additional requirements B The_Air Proving Ground Center Eglin AFB Missile Electronic Warfare Technical Area memes USAECOM at White Sands Missile Renee9 N Mexico and the Air Force Avionics Lab at Wrighthatterson will he the exploitating units in this program The initial test period will commence with the receipt of the fuse by APGC and will terminape 45 days thereafter During the initial 45 days of the plan groan based 3
