What is the safety for a projectile, HE with PD?

• A. He, Frag, Move, VT
• B. He, Frag, Move, Eject, Fire, 1hrwt
• C. He, Frag, Move
• D. He, Frag, Move, Eject, Fire

Answer: (C)

Focusing on the hazards present and the actions that reduce risk. A projectile that contains high explosive and a point-detonating fuze presents two main hazards: the blast from the explosive and the fragmentation from the casing. Because the fuze is point-detonating, it’s designed to explode on impact or minor disturbance, so the safe handling profile emphasizes preventing initiation while you move the item away from people and structures. The correct safety statement therefore lists the hazards you must acknowledge (high explosive and fragmentation) and the action that reduces risk (moving the item to safety). Ejecting components or firing the device would risk triggering the detonation, so those actions do not belong in the safety profile. The other terms in the distractors either imply actions that could initiate or worsen detonation or refer to controls not applicable here.
