Bomb 120mm ILLG belongs to the family of ILLG Ammunition used extensively to support night warfare and aerial survey.It provides intense illumination for identification and engagement of all types of stationery and moving objects.

The Bomb is fired from 120mm mortar E1 Smooth Bore, Muzzle loading weapon.The bomb is provided with time Mechanical Fuze which functions along the trajectory at the pre-set time enabling Illuminant canister supported by parachute to eject and deploy in the air at a height of around 500 to 600 metres.It provides intense Illumination over an area of 600 meters radius for a period of more than 40 secs.

Time mechanical fuze ensures functioning at the desired location

Range table  indicating   fuze   setting, QE  and  a ugmenting 
  charges would  be  provided  along with the Ammn to facilitate
  illumination  at the desired range and height
 
Packed Ammn is fit for air  dropping and sea worthy
  transportation.
 
Can be used in any terrain including desert and snow bound land.

QUALITY

Strict quality control measures established by organized Quality Control and Quality systems right from the input material upto final production.The components and sub-assemblies like tail unit , fuze illuminant,delay etc.are subjected to test/proof before final assembly.The assembled bomb in lot of 1000 Nos. after undergoing standard test and checks is subjected to functional (dynamic) proof. An AQl of 10% including fuze performance is applied to all major defects as listed in the quality assurance documents. Technique of decision graph adopted for variable parameters. Candle power of the illuminant is measured by a fully automatic computerized luminosity measuring equipment .Nocritical defect is permissible.

SAFETY

Multiple mechanical safety arrangements have been provided in the Fuze to ensure total safety during handling and tranportation.
