ABSTRACT:
An optical impact fuze employing a transparent nose of a target seeking missile as a light transmission medium which deforms upon impact to reduce optical transmission and initiate a fuzing signal. Alternatively, one or more optically transmissive filaments can be positioned at or near a predetermined target impact point on a vehicle so that a fuzing signal is initiated upon the detection of an abrupt decrease in light transmitted by the filament resulting from target contact.
