Abstract:
A fuse is provided with a reversible airbrake intended for a projectile, wherein the airbrake is arranged such that errors which occur in the flight path of the projectile can be corrected by performing one or more extensions and retractions of the airbrake. The airbrake includes at least two braking surfaces symmetrically arranged each behind a respective protective device arranged on the casing surface of the fuse, wherein the brake surfaces can be extended and retracted in a rotational direction behind the at least two protective devices via a twist shaft arranged centrally in the fuse.
