Embodiments are directed to a vented torque release device having a proximal end, a distal end, an inner surface, and an outer surface. A wall is defined by the inner surface and the outer surface. A plurality of canted holes are axially spaced at equal distance about the outer surface.

Releasable erosion enhancing mechanism

Embodiments are directed to a vented torque release device including hollow fuze well having a proximal end, a distal end, an inner surface, and an outer surface. A wall is defined by the inner surface and the outer surface. A plurality of helical grooves are axially spaced at equal distance about the outer surface.

Embodiments are directed to a releasable erosion enhancing mechanism. A vented retaining ring is configured to fit concentrically around a fuze well. The retaining ring is centered about a central longitudinal axis and has an inner surface and an outer surface. A plurality of vents is axially spaced at equal distance about the venting ring's outer surface.

Embodiments are directed to a shock mitigation device including a hollow fuze well having an inner surface and an outer surface. A plurality of vents are axially spaced at equal distance about the outer surface. A shock dampening liner is affixed to the inner surface. A shock dampening ring is concentric about the hollow fuze well.
