KDI Precision Products, Inc. is
recognized worldwide as a technology leader
in the development of highly sophisticated systems for
radio frequency (RF)
proximity and sensing applications.
PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
Whether it is today’s most advanced
frequency modulation (FM) proximity
system or a simple continuous wave (CW)
system, KDI has the knowledge, expertise, and
facilities to design, develop,manufacture, and
test a high-reliability, low cost solution to meet
customer needs.
The US Army’s
new M734A1 and M734A1F1 MO fuzes were initially designed
by ARDEC.
An integrated product team, consisting of
KDI, EDC, & ARDEC Technical Specialists,
developed a production fuze configuration incorporating
a fully integrated Monolithic Microwave Integrated Circuit
(MMIC) front end and a mixed-mode (analog/digital) Signal
Processor I.C. operating as a FM/CW directional
doppler proximity sensor, the fuze constitutes state-of-the
art munition deployment.
KDI’s engineering
capabilities are fully demonstrated where unique, cutting-edge
sensor technology is combined with modern electronic
components to provide a fully integrated munition device.
Production of this assembly in our
modern high quality manufacturing facility has yielded
excellent field results.
KDI has produced
in excess of 600,000 fuzes to date with a near perfect
ballistic firing reliability record in Lot Acceptance
Testing.
The M734A1 and
M734A1F1 MO fuzes are state-of-the art proximity mortar
fuzes that are affordable, producable, and reliable.
The M734A1 MO Fuze electronics employ microprocessor-based
logic together with
state-of-the-art Gallium Arsenide (GaAs) RF technology
packaged into a Flex Cable
Assembly using modern surface mount technologies. This
new design provides more
accurate height of burst, eliminates up-leg earlies and
is ECM hardened. This fuze
can be used on the 60mm, 81mm, and 120mm mortar projectiles.
The M734A1
setting modes are proximity (7 & 14 feet for 60/81mm
and 120mm respectively),
impact, and delay.
KDI’s development
expertise is an outgrowth of many years of experience
in the design
and development of RF proximity fuzing systems for its
valued Department of Defense
customers. |
