An apparatus for shock isolating an electronics package includes an outer member including an internal threaded portion and a transition member including an external threaded portion and a hollow inner portion that defines a cavity configured for receiving the electronics package. A layer of mechanically compliant shock isolation material is positioned between the inner thread portion of the outer member and the external thread portion of the transition member. The compliant shock isolation material encloses a front end and sidewalls of the transition member and is absent from its aft end to allow access to one end of the electronics package (e.g. to a connector). The internal threaded portion of the outer member and the external threaded portion of the transition member are compliantly engaged via a gap provided by the layer of compliant shock isolation material. In one embodiment the electronics package is a fuze assembly.

The fuze assembly of claim 9, wherein said compliant shock isolation material comprises a mixture comprising an elastomer and at least one metal. 12. The fuze assembly of claim 11, wherein said fuze and said transition member comprises steel, and wherein a density of said compliant material is within 20% of a density of a combined density of said transition member and said electronics package. 13. The fuze assembly of claim 11, wherein said compliant shock isolation material comprises a mixture comprising an elastomer and at least one material having a density greater than a density of said elastomer, and wherein a density of said mixture is within 20% of a density of a combination of said transition member and said fuze. 14. The fuze assembly of claim 9, wherein threads in said internal threaded portion of said fuzewell and threads in said external threaded portion of said transition member are thin walled, and wherein said fuzewell and said transition member include a plurality of longitudinal ribs for adding mechanical strength. 15. The fuze assembly of claim 9, wherein a cross sectional shape of said internal threaded portion and said external threaded portion is square, triangular, rounded square or trapezoidal. 16. A projectable device, comprising: a penetrating shell;explosive or other energetic material within said shell, anda shock isolated fuze apparatus for igniting said explosive or other energetic material when delivered to an intended target site, wherein said shock isolated fuze apparatus comprises:a fuzewell including an internal threaded portion;a transition member including an external threaded portion and a hollow inner portion that defines a fuzewell cavity configured for receiving said fuze;a layer of compliant shock isolation material positioned between said inner thread portion of said fuzewell and said external thread portion of said transition member, wherein said compliant shock isolation material encloses a front end and sidewalls of said transition member and is absent from its aft end to leave said aft end exposed, andwherein said internal threaded portion of said fuzewell and said external threaded portion of said transition member are compliantly engaged via a gap provided by said layer of said compliant shock isolation material. 17. The projectable device of claim 16, wherein said compliant shock isolation material comprises a mixture including a compliant material and at least one other material having a density above that of said complaint material. 18. The projectable device of claim 17, wherein said fuze and said transition member comprise steel, and wherein a density of said mixture is within 20% of a combined density of said transition member and said electronics package. 19. The projectable device of claim 18, wherein said mixture is within 10% of said combined density. 20. The projectable device of claim 16, wherein threads in said internal threaded portion of said fuzewell and threads in said external threaded portion of said transition member are thin walled, and wherein said fuzewell and said transition member include a plurality of longitudinal ribs for adding mechanical strength.
