<h2>Armament</h2><p>81 mm TDA and other medium-pressure mortars.</p><h2>Development</h2><p>By Simmel Difesa to provide a training bomb capable of indicating fall of shot at long ranges.</p><h2>Description</h2><p>The bomb consists of an aluminium alloy body, the nose of which is threaded to accept a percussion fuze and an extruded aluminium tail unit which is screwed into the end of the body. The bomb body is almost entirely filled with inert material; a central burster tube carries a charge of flash and sound mixture (black powder based). A primary cartridge is fitted into the tail tube and six secondary charges fit around the tail tube in horseshoe containers. The bomb is fired in the normal way; on impact with the ground the fuze ignites the flash and sound composition, this produces a strong signature capable of being seen over 1,000 m from the point of burst.</p><h2>Manufacturer</h2><p>Simmel Difesa SpA.</p>
