(Defenselink -- January 12, 2004) Alliant Precision Fuze Co., Janesville, Wis., is being awarded a $7,999,697 firm fixed price contract modification to provide for DSU-33B/B proximity sensor is a nose-mounted Radio Frequency Proximity sensor use on M117 and MK-80 series general-purpose bombs and the Joint Direct Attack Munition (JDAM). The DSU-33B/B provides a sensor fire pulse to a fuze, which in turn initiates bomb detonation at a height-of-burst (HOB) nominally 20 feet. The HOB detonation capability enhances the performance of general-purpose bombs and JDAMs for above ground targets. The DSU-33B/B can provide a fire pulse to the following fuzes: FMU-139/B, FMU-139 A/B, FMU139B/B, and the FMU-152/B. Power for the DSU-33B/B is provided by an internal battery, which is initiated by either an FZU-48/B or the FZU-55/B and FZU-55A/B in the Air Force configuration, or the fuze function control set in the Navy configuration. The sensor is qualified for use on the following aircraft and each variant in their series: Marines AV-8, Navy/Marine F/A-18, and Air Force A-10, F-15, F-16, F-22, B-52, B-1 and B-2 including foreign military sales versions. This action is for procurement of 7,078 additional DSU-33B/B Proximity Sensors and Cables under Option 3 of the contract. Total funds have been obligated. This work will be complete by March 2006. The Air Armament Center, Eglin Air Force Base, Fla., is the contracting activity (F08635-02-C-0049, P00010).
