Abstract: In this paper, a statistical analytic model for evaluation of the performance of a standard electric bomb fuze timer is presented. The model is based on what is called a selective design assembly, where one item, namely, a resistor, is used to time the circuit. In such an assembly, the remaining components are chosen a priori from predetermined distributions. Based on the analysis, a general numerical integration scheme is utilized for assessing performance of the timer. The results of a computer simulation are also given. In the last section of the paper, a theory for evaluation of the yield of two or more timers designed to operate in sequence is derived. To appraise such a scheme, a numerical quadrature routine is developed.
