FMU-139 C/B BOMB FUZE

Click image to view data sheet

The FMU-139 C/B Bomb Fuze is an electronic impact/impact delay fuzing system developed for use by both the U.S. Navy and the Air Force in the MK 80 series and M117 low drag and high drag, guided or unguided, high-explosive bombs. In addition to impact/impact delay, the fuze is capable of accepting a signal from a separate proximity sensor.

PRODUCT DESCRIPTION

The fuzing system consists of a cylindrical fuze and a closure ring in the Navy Application. For application in Air Force mode an additional charging well generator (FZU-48) and cable assembly are provided.

Key features of the FMU-139 C/B include ease of installation and preparation for flight, compatibility with the proximity sensor fire signal, ability to sense a high drag delivery, and the ability to manually set the arming and event times prior to take off or electrically set them by cockpit selection at bomb release.

This cockpit selection is accomplished in the Navy mode when power is transmitted to the fuze from the Fuze Function Control System (FFCS). In the Air Force mode, power is provided by the air driven alternator, which is lanyard activated upon release from the aircraft. Cockpit selection is not available in the Air Force mode.

The FMU-139 C/B has passed the appropriate environmental tests of MIL-STD-331 and MIL-STD-810. The fuzing system meets all U. S. & NATO Navy and Air Force requirements, including the ISTRP/WSESRB safety criteria for fielding. The FMU-139 C/B fuze is compatible with most U. S. Air Force, Navy, Marine Corps, and NATO Aircraft. All arming functions and fuzing modes are contained in a single fuze that has an independent arming rotor lock, dual independent launch signals (Navy) and an air flow environment sensor (Air Force), and automatic retard deceleration recognition.

KDI is under contract to produce an initial order in excess of 76,290 FMU-139 C/B for the U. S. Navy, Air Force, and NATO Allies. KDI will also produce in excess of 76,290 FZU-48/B wind turbine generators.
