Armament All 60 to 160 mm fin-stabilised bombs. Development By Fuchs Electronics, to replace M8516, M8517 and M8959 mortar proximity fuzes. Description A highly reliable proximity fuze powered by air turbine, with selectable proximity (3 m burst height), supported by super-quick point detonating clean-up function or super-quick point detonating function only. Selection is done by turning a mode selector ring (integral to the fuze) to the required position. Specialised circuitry gives the fuze virtual immunity to
countermeasures. The fuze is supplied with a rubber boot providing water and dustproofing. It must be removed before firing. The fuze is qualified to NATO STANAG specifications. By using adaptor rings this fuze can be fitted to any existing mortar bomb, though in special cases a change to the fuze intrusion may be necessary. The M9815 fuze is an extended range version of the M9327. Manufacturer Fuchs Electronics.
