Some experimental results of an I-band remote set fuze information link for gun launched and helicopter-fired projectiles

Experimental antenna and propagation results, achieved while studying the feasibility of a technique for setting the detonation times of projectiles after they have been fired, are presented. Two aspects of the work are described: 1) Radiation patterns of the fuze receive antenna configuration, and 2) Progagation losses resulting from transmitting through ionized gun gases or through a rocket plume.
