NATO Supply Class 1390 refers to Fuzes And Primers, which are components used in ammunition and explosives. This class is part of NATO Supply Group 13, which encompasses various items related to ammunition and explosives.

Fuzes are devices that initiate the detonation of explosives, typically found in artillery shells, bombs, and missiles. They are designed to control the timing and manner in which the explosive charge is detonated. Fuzes can be mechanical, electronic, or pyrotechnic in nature, depending on the specific application.

Primers, on the other hand, are small explosive charges used to ignite the main propellant charge in ammunition. They are typically found in cartridges for firearms, artillery shells, and other explosive devices. Primers are designed to provide a reliable and consistent ignition source for the main charge.

NATO Supply Class 1390 includes a wide range of fuzes and primers, each designed for specific types of ammunition and explosives. These components play a crucial role in ensuring the safe and effective functioning of military ordnance.

It's important to note that the classification system used by NATO helps standardize the identification and categorization of military supplies and equipment. This allows for efficient logistics and interoperability among NATO member countries.
