The MK187 employs the MK419 Multi-Function Fuze (MFF) attached to the MK64 projectile body. The MFF (MK 419) has five (5) selectable operational modes [(1) provides air proximity (AIR); (2) surface proximity (HOB); (3) autonomous (AUTO); (4) point detonating (PD) and (5) electric time (ET] and is inductively set by an electronic fuze setter. The MK64 projectile body is a conventional AISI 1050 grade steel body loaded with PBXN-9 explosive. It includes a copper rotating band for spin and obturation and a 1/2 caliber boat tail at the base of the projectile. The overall AUR length is approximately 26 inches, with a weight of 70 pounds.
