The invention relates to a programming process and device for a fuse of a projectile using a programming coil transmitting by induction a programming signal to reception means integral with the fuse. This process is characterized in that the programming signal is transmitted from at least one second programming coil that is separate from the first one, each coil being linked individually to electronic control means and the two coils being arranged so as to be able to lie in proximity to the fuse of the projectile when the latter passes in the feed means of the weapon, the coils being arranged such that the projectile fuse passes successively in front of each coil, particularly adapted to the programming of medium caliber projectiles.

1. A programming device for programming a fuse of a projectile when the projectile passes in a feeder of a weapon, the programming device comprising: at least two programming coils each linked individually to an electronic controller, the coils arranged so as to be able to lie in proximity to the fuse when the projectile passes through the feeder of the weapon, the coils being arranged such that the fuse passes successively in front of each of the coils. 2. A programming device according to claim 1, further comprising a device enabling the position of the fuse to be determined with respect to the coils as the projectile progresses. 3. A programming device according to claim 2, wherein the device enabling the position of the fuse to be determined with respect to the coils comprises at least one position sensor coupled with the electronic controller. 4. A programming device according to claim 3 wherein the position sensor is also coupled with a device to determine the progression rate of the projectile. 5. A programming device according to claim 4 wherein the coils are arranged at a cylindrical surface of the weapon surrounding a feed star wheel, the rate of progression being determined by the spin rate (w) of the feed star wheel. 6. A programming device according to claim 3, wherein the device enabling the position of the fuse to be determined comprises a second position sensor linked to the electronic controller. 7. A programming device according to claim 4, wherein the device to determine the progression rate of the projectile comprises a second position sensor linked to the electronic controller.
