ABSTRACT:
1. A fuze system comprising in combination: an antenna, a plurality of inendent channels, a firing circuit, and detonator means; each of said channels comprising oscillating detector means for generating a transmitting signal and a monitoring signal, said detector means upon receipt of a target signal having an output container a doppler frequency component, amplifying means connected to said oscillating detector means, means connected to said amplifying means for separating said monitoring signal from said doppler target signal, and rectifying means for forming a d-c holding bias from said monitoring signal; said firing circuit having first and second inputs; means for applying both the holding bias and the doppler target signal of one of said channels to said first firing circuit input, and means for applying both the holding bias and the doppler target signal of another one of said channels to said second firing circuit input said means responsive to said monitoring means enabling said fuze to operate by any remaining channels upon failure of one channel; said detonator means being connected to the output of said firing circuit.
