Armament 60, 81 and 120 mm smoothbore mortar bombs. Development The F930 fuze was developed by Miltec SA as a private venture. Description The F930 is a mechanical super-quick impact mortar fuze of modular design, making it easily adaptable to any mortar bomb between 60 and 120 mm calibre. The fuze mechanism can be adapted to virtually any round, due to the modular design feature. The F930 meets STANAG 3525 (MIL-STD-1316), MIL-STD-331 and MIL-STD-105. The fuze is ignited mechanically upon impact. Setting the fuze
between `arm' and `safe' is accomplished by simply turning the nose cap. The status of the fuze can be checked either visibly via a sight glass or by touch. A timing mechanism returns the fuze to the `safe' position if it is not fired within a set time limit. There is no stored energy in the F930 before firing, the fuze is rain safe and can be dropped when in the armed position without danger of functioning. There are no pull wires and final arming is by setback and time upon firing. The F930 can optionally be provided with a delay setting in addition to super-quick. The F930 will function at angles of 50 to 90º from horizontal. Manufacturer Miltec, SA.
