A system for fuzing a detonator of a projectile of the type having a longitudinal axis and producing a plurality of fragments within a zone of densest fragmentation, comprising: designator means for irradiating a target with a beam, the designator coupling to the projectile only via irradiance from the target; means for fuzing the detonator after reception of irradiance from the target while the projectile is traversing a trajectory terminating at a point beyond the target; the means including a single detector sensitive to the irradiance within a limited field-of-view, coupled to the detector; the field-of-view having a central axis coaxial with the longitudinal axis; and the field-of-view being matched to the zone of densest fragmentation.
