Armament All types of mortar bombs. Development By Fuchs Electronics to provide a time fuze with universal application. Description The M9148 is a universal programmable time fuze functioning in any type of mortar bomb; adaptor rings will enable it to be fitted to various thread diameters and intrusions. The fuze does not use a battery or generator, so there is no source of energy within the fuze during storage or transport. Power is provided during programming, using a hand-held programmer, at the same time as
the operating time is being set. The fuze is thus immune to any form of electronic countermeasure. It has a shelf-life in excess of 10 years. The electronic module is hermetically sealed inside the fuze and an option permits infra-red communication with the programmer if desired. The operating time is programmable up to 80 seconds in 1 ms steps and the timing is accurate to 3 ms in a 50 seconds time of flight. Manufacturer NASCHEM (Division of Denel (Pty) Ltd ).
