Primer Sensitivity Test Box

Abstract

Integral part of aerial bomb fuzes development is a rigorous and detailed testing of all parts and components according to required military standards, regardless of whether the components are mechanical, electrical or pyrotechnic. Modern aerial bomb fuzes use components controlled by electronics and one of them is electric igniting device, type of electric explosive device, commonly referred to as primer. This paper presents method for fast, reliable and precise primer sensitivity testing in compliance with the requirements of the military standards.
