ABSTRACT A detachable proximity fuse adaptor for use with the projectile having a percussion nose fuse. The adaptor contains a proximity sensor, its control circuit board and an electrical pressurized-gas capsule. Power for the proximity sensor is provided by an electrolyte battery which consists of a spaced electrode stack and an electrolyte container. When the projectile is fired the resulting forces move the electrode stack into the electrolyte container thereby providing the necessary power for the proximity sensor. When the sensor detects a target it ignites the pressurized-gas capsule which, in turn, depresses the actuator member of the conventional proximity fuse on the projectile. This adaptor provides an economical solution to the problem of providing proximity fuses when required on projectiles by using projectiles already provided with less expensive percussion fuses.
