L3Harris’ Proximity Fuzes expand the mission set and effectiveness of the combat-proven Advanced Precision Kill Weapon System (APKWS) for ground or air launch against ground or air targets.
PROXIMITY FUZE
The L3Harris Hydra 70 Proximity Fuze pairs an advanced Proximity Sensor and modern electronics module with the proven heritage of the M423 Point Detonating (PD) Hydra Fuze.
- Two factory programmable modes
- Proximity for C-UAS applications - proven against Group 2 and Group 3 threats
- Height of Burst (HOB) for ground targets
- Threads directly onto existing Hydra 70 warheads
- Maintains the same proven safeties as the M423/M427/MK435 fuze
- Redundant back-up function modes to eliminate dangerous unexploded ordnance (UXO)
ROCKET ESAF
The next generation rocket electronic safe, arm and fire (ESAF) builds on technology of our Proximity Fuze with added safety features, modes, warhead integration options and increased reliability.
- Dual-safe electronic fuze fully compliant to MIL-STD-1316
- Flexible fuzing architecture for future incorporation of impact delay
- ESAF variants can be paired with current and future warhead configurations
- Nose- or base-mounted
- Mid-body
- Incorporates a communication link for guidance kit interface and gunner — selectable engagement mode for future capability
