Description
The inert PIAFS-1 training aid fuze will be utilized as a training aid for the Portable Inductive Artillery Fuze Setter (PIAFS). The fuze is inert but electronically identical to the M782 (MOFA) fuze, allowing it to be set and interrogated by the PIAFS.
The inert PIAFS-1 training aid fuze comprises of a blue anodizing aluminum ogive and a 2-inch threaded steel base to match the projectile nose and fuze cavity.
The fuze has four setting modes: Variable Time (VT), Time (TIME), Point Detonating (PD), and Delay (DLY). PIAFS-1 training aid fuze contains an electronic timing system that may be set for times ranging from 0.5 to 199.9 seconds in increments of tenths of a second. The fuze is automatically remote set via an inductive communication link with the M1155 PIAFS.
Since the PIAFS-1 training aid fuze is inert, an aluminum plug takes the place of the Booster, Safe and Arm Assembly, Detonator Delay assembly and the Post Launch Battery, found in the M782 MOFA fuze.
