APL Defining Innovations: The Radio Proximity Fuze

Among the Johns Hopkins University Applied Physics Laboratory’s thousands of critical contributions to national security and space exploration are a number of defining innovations: game-changing breakthroughs in technology that have created inflection points in history. These revolutionary advances have ignited new engineering accomplishments globally, saved lives, and secured the United States against threats at home and abroad.

APL was established in early 1942 to perfect and field one of America’s most closely guarded secrets of World War II – the radio proximity fuze. The device was judged by historians as one of the three most important developments of the war, along with radar and the atomic bomb.
