Description
Armament 60 to 160 mm HE and bursting smoke bombs. Development By Reshef to meet Israeli Defence Forces requirements. Description A proximity/point detonating fuze, selectable between the two functions and with impact back-up in case of proximity failure. The normal proximity configuration is for the optimum burst height (factory-set at 2.4 m), but the fuze can be specially configured for near surface burst (0.5 m) or for jungle canopy penetration functioning if required. Arming is two-fold, requiring acceleration
and a build-up of airspeed through the turbogenerator which provides electrical power. The fuze is supplied as standard with the 1.5 in NATO thread; it can, however, be supplied in 2 in 12 tpi UNS 1B, 1.4 in 10 tpi, 1.41 in 14 tpi or 35.7 × 200 metric threads if required. These variants have the appropriate intrusion for standard HE bombs in those thread sizes. Manufacturer Reshef Technologies.
