Where is the M905 Fuze installed in a general-purpose bomb body?

The M905 Fuze is specifically designed to be installed in the tail fuze well of a general-purpose bomb body. This design allows the fuze to appropriately trigger the bomb’s detonation upon impact or under specified conditions, ensuring reliability and effectiveness during deployment.

The placement in the tail fuze well is critical because it allows for optimal aerodynamic stability and facilitates a safe separation from the aircraft upon release. This position also helps in managing the safety features associated with the fuze, as it is further away from the explosive payload, reducing the risk of accidental activation during handling and storage.

Understanding the role and placement of the M905 Fuze within the bomb assembly is essential for safe operation and effective munitions management in military applications.
