iii. Fuse Selection. As well as selecting the ammunition type, the Fuse may also

be specified. Any fuse may be chosen for any ammunition type; however,

some fuse / ammunition type combinations will be ineffective. For example,

using DPICM round with a Quick fuse will cause minimal damage in the

impact area. The options for fuses are:

 Quick. This is a point detonating fuse. There are no parameters to

specify with this fuse selection.

 Timed. This is a fuse that will explode a certain number of seconds after

being fired. The fuse time is specified in meters above sea level. When

this value is specified, the FDC / Bty GPO will conduct the ballistic

analysis and will turn that distance into a time of flight. The guns will

then use this time of flight to ensure that the rounds detonate at the

correct moment.

In a FFE scenario with MLRS if the fuse is selected as Quick, and the

ammunition is not selected, it should always fire HE. Whereas when the Timed

fuse is selected it should fire DPICM. The number of rounds will be as selected

or else default which is 3 rounds.
