Auxiliary Detonating Fuze

Auxiliary Detonating Fuze (ADF) is a type of fuze used in ammunition and explosives. It is classified under the supply class "Fuzes And Primers" in the supply group "Ammunition And Explosives."

ADF is designed to initiate the detonation of an explosive device or ammunition. It is typically used in situations where a primary fuze fails to function or when additional safety measures are required. The ADF acts as a backup or secondary fuze, ensuring that the explosive device detonates as intended.

The ADF is equipped with various safety features to prevent accidental detonation. These features may include arming delay mechanisms, self-destruct mechanisms, or anti-tamper devices. The specific design and features of an ADF may vary depending on its intended use and the type of explosive device it is used with.

Overall, the Auxiliary Detonating Fuze plays a critical role in ensuring the safe and reliable functioning of ammunition and explosives by providing an additional level of detonation initiation.
