The M81 Fuse igniter is manufactured by UDC USA and supplied to the Department of Defense, SOCOM, and Military personnel.

The inert M81 igniter replicates a military igniter used with a time fuse or shocktube (NONEL/MDI). This training aid is engineered to have the same density and effective atomic number as a fuse igniter. This item is ITAR restricted and requires special licensing for most international sales.

The igniter is typically utilized with detonation cords, shock tubes, and (M700) time fuses. All components are X-ray, tactilely, and visually accurate to the real threat components.
