A fuze for a weapon configured as a projectable device is provided to
reduce the mechanical amplification of impact and penetration shock to a
fuze-mounted accelerometer when a projectable device including the fuze
encounters a target. The fuze includes a fuze housing having an outer
surface, a flange extending radially from the outer surface of the fuze
housing, and an acceleration sensor connected to the flange. The flange
may include one or more axial holes to enable attachment of the fuze to a
projectable device. A penetrating weapon projectable device and a method
for installing a fuze for a projectable device are also provided.
