As the sole designer, developer, manufacturer, and integrator of the FMU‐139D/B fuzes and its accessory parts, only NGC‐DS has the knowledge, experience and access to the technical data necessary to fulfill the Government’s needs and meet the schedule requirements. A complete Technical Data Package is planned to be delivered to the Government during late 4th quarter 2026.
