ETFM Program Evolution
• No US Fielded ET Fuze for Mortars Existso US Requirements Filled By Foreign Source:
M776 / M772 Diehl/Junghans (Germany)
Under Waiver From US Safety Standards
• User Persistently Indicated Need For a US ET Fuze (Since Mid ’80’s)
• No NDI Design Solution Existso Foreign Comparative Studies
o Engineering Studies
o Contractor Studies

ETFM Program Objective
The next generation Mortar Time FuzeDevelop mortar electronic time fuzes to replace the mechanical time fuzes (M776 & M772) currently employed by the US Army on the 60 mm, 81mm and 120 mm white light & IR illumination rounds, and the 81 mm smoke round.
