All I know about it ...
Used with M71, 90-MM, HE projectile and has a MK 44 MOD 0 Aux Det on them. Outside of that ... not much.

Chris,
The attached is from an article that discusses the danger to operators of geophys kit in areas where VT fuzed UXOs might reside. PM your email address if you want a copy. It is not strong on ammo tech info but as you can see has snippets on the T74 - just another 1,468,471 to locate.

I wonder if that hazard includes all metals locators like the White, etc. Most produce a signal or field that might interact with the electronics inside the fuze. Thanks for posting that. Never thought of it but now that it's brought to light, it's readily apparent. Thanks, Bruce.
