View our Research Center.

Munitions Tech Research Center (MTRC) is a privately owned business working with inert ordnance, specializing in fuzes and fuze systems. Many of you are familiar with my work through my company, Munitions Technology International.

I have over 25 years working experience with ordnance and ammunition, especially related to identification and technical functioning of fuzes and fuze systems. Through the years, my passion has been to learn of the technical and historical impact of these systems.

Sadly, I have seen so many irreplaceable ordnance items that were perfectly inerted, destroyed, and that piece of history gone forever. It is the objective of the MTRC to preserve fuzes and fuze systems of the past for the future. This includes collecting, gathering information, technical cutaways and providing training and consulting of fuze systems and related items.

I have also just finished a loose leaf data book about German Fuzes of WWI and WWII. There will be periodic updates to this book for you upon request. The book is available in Black and White as well as full color. Contact me if you are interested in purchasing.

Donations of fuzes, fuze systems and paperwork to the research center are very much welcomed!

Enjoy :)
