What is required by the fuze for an air-to-ground guided munition to detonate?

For an air-to-ground guided munition to detonate, it is typically required that a fuze receives an electrical impulse. This electrical impulse is generated either from an internal component of the munition or from an external source, such as an aircraft. This process involves the system's electronics that sense when to trigger the detonation based on programmed parameters, such as proximity to the target or specific conditions during flight.

The use of an electrical impulse allows for precise control over the timing of detonation, which is crucial for achieving the desired effect on target, particularly with guided munitions that rely on technology to engage targets accurately. This capability enhances the effectiveness of modern munitions in combat scenarios, allowing for multi-functionality and adaptability based on specific mission requirements.
