Reshef Technologies of Israel has produced a new radar proximity fuse known as the Omicron N180. This fuse can be used in 105mm, 122mm, 150mm, and 155mm artillery, as well as 120mm mortars. It is set at the factory to detonate the shell 9m above the ground, but can be adjusted by the gunners (or set for impact detonation). The new fuse uses a new FMCW
technology.--Stephen V Cole
