Not all ADSIDS, exactly, but from the same family. I need to look up the designations - what I have at least. The first is an XM146, the second is fairly standard. The third is a variation, shown with the antenna removed. It uses a set of reversed fins for a 90lb frag bomb. The fourth is the REMBASS TDV, a 155mm deployed sensor, showing carrier projo and sensor. Finally the XM123 sensor, which was deployed as an 81mm mortar projectile. The tail section was designed to snap off as it hit the ground, an attached coiled antenna wire unfurling as the body buried into the ground.

Sorry for the photo quality, I'm at work and trying to make due with office picture manager.

Which one had the AD Device

 

[US-Subs]

None of these. The anti-disturbance was in the longer version, about a 5 footer. Haven't found one yet.

You didn't say which fuzes Harry.

Noting that nothing is organized or cleaned yet, here are some general shots of most of the fuzes which are not mounted on munitions.

And the rest.
