ABSTRACT:
The time-to-go of the fuze of an artillery shell is digitally set after the round has been fired but before it leaves the muzzle of the gun. The communications link for setting the fuze includes a transmitting coil mounted on the gun muzzle and a receiving coil mounted on each shell round. The transmitting coil is energized with a plurality of signals on discrete frequencies. The output from the receiving coil is detected to derive one binary digit representing each discrete frequency. All the binary digits, "0" or "1", are simultaneously set into a binary counter in the fuze, so that the binary number represents the time-to-go.
