Abstract
An arrangement for wirelessly setting, i.e. timing, ammunition provided with a programmable fuse and disposed in a gun barrel, which arrangement does not require complicated structural measures in and at the gun barrel and is not subject to the pressure and temperature influences generated by the propelling charge gases. The arrangement includes a simple and protected data transmitting unit fastened adjacent the beach of the weapon on, e.g., the interior wall or ceiling of a turret of an armored vehicle, a holding arm fixed to the weapon cradle or directly to the rear breech housing for the weapon, a special receiving antenna on the rear cartridge base or cartridge collar of the loaded ammunition, and a free optical data transmission path between the transmitter and the antenna.
