A projectile fuze detects transitions between target layers by an electronic antenna radiating laterally into the target material and coupled to a pullable oscillator whose frequency shifts as the target material changes while the projectile penetrates. A frequency shift threshold detector relates the observed frequency shifts to a stored target profile to detonate the projectile after the desired layer penetration.

Variable target transition detection capability and method therefor

An air driven electrical generator, carried by a weapon, supplies low voltage electrical energy to a storage capacitor which in turn supplies reoccurring constant amounts of electrical energy to the primary of a flyback transformer. The secondary of the flyback transformer supplies relatively high voltage electrical energy to a slapper detonator capacitor.
