US12460912 - Bomb fuze initiator

A bomb fuze initiator equipped with a cap configured to open after bomb release, a device for detecting bomb release, a device for determining bomb speed, an integrated proximity sensor and a fuze connector intended to connect the fuze initiator to a bomb fuze, the integrated proximity sensor comprising: a transceiver of electromagnetic waves comprising an HF antenna and an HF circuit or comprising an IR source and a photodetector, and a transmission link configured to transmit the signal delivered by the transceiver of electromagnetic waves.

The patent describes a bomb fuze initiator that includes a cone-shaped cap designed to open post-release, along with devices for detecting bomb release, measuring speed, and an integrated proximity sensor. This sensor features a transceiver with an HF antenna and circuit, allowing for signal transmission once the bomb is deployed.

Claim 1

1 . A bomb fuze initiator equipped with a cone-shaped cap configured to open after bomb release, a device for detecting bomb release, a device for determining bomb speed, an integrated proximity sensor and a fuze connector intended to connect the fuze initiator to a bomb fuze, the integrated proximity sensor comprising: a transceiver of electromagnetic waves comprising an HF antenna and an HF circuit, the HF antenna being installed at the front of the cone-shaped cap of the fuze initiator, the front of the cap protruding from the bomb body after release; and a transmission link configured to transmit the signal delivered by the transceiver of electromagnetic waves. a transceiver of electromagnetic waves comprising an HF antenna and an HF circuit, the HF antenna being installed at the front of the cone-shaped cap of the fuze initiator, the front of the cap protruding from the bomb body after release; and a transmission link configured to transmit the signal delivered by the transceiver of electromagnetic waves.
