Armament 60 to 160 mm smoke, illuminating and cargo bombs. Development By Reshef for mortars in Israeli service and general use. Description An electronic time and percussion fuze, electrical power being supplied by a turbo-alternator driven by a wind vane impeller. The nose of the fuze carries three setting rings; at the centre of the nose is a vent which admits air to the impeller, concealed by the nose. This air exhausts from vents between the cap and the body of the fuze. The body contains the turbo-alternator
and electronic circuits, together with inertia-operated safety devices. These include a missequencing detector, which locks the fuze in a safe condition should airspeed cause the generator to function before setback has taken place. The electric detonator is short-circuited until arming is complete. Should the fuze be set to a time longer than the time of flight, or fired at zero setting, then an electromechanical percussion element will function on impact. Manufacturer Reshef Technologies.
