According to Expal, the new Electronic VT-RF proximity and impact fuze with self-destruction was designed for Naval Artillery, specifically to enhance on-board anti-air warfare (AAW) capabilities, including against sea skimming missiles.

Its functional principle is based on FMCW Radar Technology, providing high detection reliability and superior immunity to electromagnetic interferences.

Designed for the Spanish Navy (Armada Española) Álvaro de Bazán class of air defence frigates, one of the key feature of the new fuze is that in can be used in very adverse environments, such as those produced by the SPY-1D radar (the fuze resists to interferances and jamming).
