Armament For Chinese Type 55 and similar 120 mm mortars. Development By Fuchs Electronics to suit the dynamics of the Chinese Type 55 and similar 120 mm mortars. Description The MO120 fuze is a radio Doppler proximity fuze which is factory-set to give a burst 3 to 4 m above the ground, the optimum height for maximum fragment spread from a 120 mm bomb. There is also an impact element that can be selected instead of the proximity action and which also acts as a clean-up feature should the proximity circuits fail.
The fuze operates in the UHF range of frequencies and innovative circuit design has been employed to give it frequency agility, providing effective immunity against countermeasures. Manufacturer Fuchs Electronics.
