Embodiment Construction

[0061] Reference Figure 1 to Figure 4 , shows an exemplary guided projectile and is generally indicated by reference numeral 10 . Figure 1-Figure 4 Further shown is a fuze setter system configured in accordance with an example of the invention. As will be described below, the fuze setter system includes a fuze 12 disposed on the guided projectile 10 and a fuze setter station configured to engage at least the forward end of the fuze 12 .

[0062]Guided projectile 10 includes a fuse 12 operatively connected to a projectile body 14 . Fuze 12 is configured to house a number of components for guiding projectile 10 to remote target 16 ( image 3 ). Cannon 18 is shown as representative of any type of firing assembly. Components within fuze 12 may utilize data provided by one or more GPS satellites 20 to help guide projectile 10 to remote target 16 . Fuze 12 may also house components that detonate guided projectile 10 at the appropriate time and / or location when guided projecti...

Abstract

A fuze setter interface for substantially simultaneously and wirelessly transferring power and data between a fuze setter and fuze. The fuze setter interface includes separate power and communications interfaces. In the power interface, an induction coil is provided in each of the fuze setter and fuze. Power is transferred by magnetic field coupling between the induction coils. In the communications interface, a communications member is provided in each of the fuze setter and fuze, along with appropriate functions to generate alternating-current (AC) waveforms, and condition, modulate or demodulate signals. In one example, both communications members are induction coils that transfer data by magnetic field coupling. In another example, both communications members are radio-frequency (RF) transceivers that transfer data by radio signal. The RF transceiver in the fuze may be a Height of Burst (HoB) sensor. In another example, both communications members are optical transceivers that transfer data by optical signal.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to fuzes. More specifically, the present invention relates to fuze setter systems for fuzes. In particular, the present invention relates to a fuze setter interface comprising a wireless communication interface enabling high speed two-way communication between the fuze setter and the fuze, and a wireless power interface for transferring power from the fuze setter to the fuze. Background technique [0002] The gun fuze is usually attached to the front end of the gun projectile prior to firing from the gun platform. Next-generation gun fuzes provide guidance capabilities that correct firing errors and guide projectiles to the desired target impact point. Fuzed artillery projectiles can be loaded into the gun manually or by using an autoloader (autoloader) mechanism. [0003] Fuze setter is the process of rapidly programming aiming and other data into artillery fuzes, such as those with precision guidance capabilities. Th...
