The proposed improvement links a radar set to the fuze setter so that measured range determines the timing of shell bursts. It is intended for air-burst and anti-aircraft ammunition. The suggestion explicitly distinguishes this arrangement from putting a proximity fuze in the shell. The change concerns how the gun system supplies information to a timed fuze, allowing an existing type of ammunition to benefit from radar ranging.

Radar range sent directly to the fuze setter
A direct radar-to-setter connection improves timed bursts without depending on proximity-fuzed ammunition.
