PRECISION SHELL FUSE WITH SIDE FUNCTION Russian patent published in 2013 - IPC F42C11/06 

FIELD: weapons and ammunition.

SUBSTANCE: fuse comprises a body, where a target sensor is installed in the form of an electric contact group isolated from the body, connected with a control scheme of an actuating device and comprising current-conducting elements. Some current-conducting elements are installed as capable of displacement under action of inertial forces until contact with a response contact. Current-conducting elements moved under action of inertial forces, in the amount of at least three, are arranged at the angle to each other and to the fuse axis, and to each one its own response contact corresponds, which is connected in parallel with response contacts of other current-conducting elements. When placing current-conducting elements at the angle to the fuse axis in the range of above 45° to 90°, an additional current-conducting element is installed as moved under action of inertia forces with a response contact at the angle to the fuse axis that is below 45°.

EFFECT: invention makes it possible to increase reliability of actuation whenever a shell meets a target at any angles.
