How a mortar fuze is specified in tender documents

A mortar fuze annex lists the fuze type, the action modes, the shells named as compatible, the safety standard, the arming acceleration window and the connecting thread. These records follow that pattern: point-detonating, mechanical or pyrotechnic time, electronic time or proximity for the type; superquick, delay, timed or proximity for the mode; MIL-STD-1316B, STANAG 4157 or MIL-STD-331C where a standard is cited; and arming bands such as 400 g to 13000 g.

Designation families and what varies by model

UT-M68 and UT-M88 mark the superquick impact fuzes; PD UTU-M93 the point-detonating fuzes whose mode selector chooses superquick or a delay of 30 ms to 50 ms, with UTU M93P1 recording superquick and delay action over the same 30 ms to 50 ms delay; TP-M67 P1 the pyrotechnic time fuzes in a 60 mm and an 81/82 mm version; ETSQ M365 the microprocessor time fuze; MBU M18 the battery-powered proximity fuze. What varies is the mass, the connecting thread, the stated muzzle safety distance and the temperature range, which reaches -54 to +71 deg C on several sheets.

Questions about this equipment

What setting ranges do the time and proximity models record?

TP-M67 P1 records 5 to 35 s in the 60 mm version and 5 to 38 s in the 81/82 mm version. ETSQ M365 records 5 to 99.9 s in steps of 0.1 s, set by an external setter without activating the fuze battery. MBU M18 records a point-detonating mode and a proximity action of 2 m to 5 m.

What masses and connecting threads are listed?

Recorded masses run from 175 g for UT-M68 P2 to 580 g for the 81/82 mm TP-M67 P1, with 0.224 kg for UT M18. Threads named include 1.5 in - 12 UNF-1A, M43 x 2 mm, M 54 x 1.5 mm, M 72 x 1.5 mm and W 36.18 x 1 in / 10. UT-M68 P1 is listed without a mass figure.
