Thermobaric Warheads
AIAGTB FAE

Compact and medium thermobaric warhead references for integration with unmanned and guided platforms.

Their primary purpose is to generate a high-energy blast and overpressure effect rather than the focused penetration of a shaped-charge warhead or the fragment pattern of an HE-fragmentation warhead.

AIAGTB FAE Warheads

AI Armaments offers thermobaric warheads under the AIAGTB FAE designation for integration with compact unmanned and guided platforms.

The current public product range confirms compact and medium weight references for UAV applications. Platform compatibility and final configuration remain subject to engineering review and qualification.

Product Classes

Compact and Medium References

Compact Class / Approx. 1.0 kg

AIAGTB FAE DG

The compact reference belongs to the approximately 1.0 kg DG tactical-warhead family and is intended for miniature UAVs where payload mass is limited but a thermobaric effect is required.

This class is positioned alongside HEAT, HE-fragmentation, and inert training variants within the DG family, supporting a consistent system-integration approach across mission-selected effects.

Medium Class / Approx. 4.8 kg

AIAGTB FAE

The medium reference belongs to the approximately 4.8 kg Tactical Warheads Type 2 family and provides the heavier publicly documented thermobaric reference for UAV deployment.

Its higher head mass requires a carrier platform with the appropriate payload capacity, mechanical interface, balance limits, and release architecture.

Mission Context

Intended Applications

The thermobaric variants form part of tactical-warhead families intended for selected battlefield threats that can include:

  • Fortified positions and strongpoints
  • Enemy firing positions and machine-gun nests
  • Other mission-defined targets requiring blast and overpressure effects

Final target suitability depends on the verified warhead configuration, platform, engagement concept, and program qualification.

Controlled Weaponization Package

Platform Integration

Integration is developed around the complete warhead and carrier-platform interface, including:

Permitted Payload Mass and Center-of-Gravity Limits
Mechanical Mounting and Release Provisions
Compatible Fuze and Safe & Arm Architecture
Electrical Power, Command, and Signal Exchange
Functional and Environmental Requirements
System Testing, Qualification, and Configuration Control

Potential carrier platforms include miniature UAVs, loitering munitions, and other compatible guided or unmanned systems.

Configuration Selection

Select the Appropriate Payload Class
AIAGTB FAE DG / Approx. 1.0 kgFor compact platforms where payload mass is the primary integration constraint.
AIAGTB FAE / Approx. 4.8 kgFor carrier platforms supporting the higher payload class and heavier thermobaric reference.

Contact AI Armaments with the available payload capacity, installation envelope, intended target class, and interface requirements to determine the applicable thermobaric configuration.
