Tactical Warheads / Thermobaric
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.
UAV Integration
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.
Published Product Information
The stated masses are approximate head weights published for the applicable product families.
| Weight Class | Product Designation | Product Family | Approximate Head Mass | Published Effect |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Compact | AIAGTB FAE DG | DG series | 1.0 kg | High-energy blast and overpressure |
| Medium | AIAGTB FAE | Tactical Warheads Type 2 | 4.8 kg | Enhanced blast and overpressure |
Product Classes
Compact Class / Approx. 1.0 kg
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
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
The thermobaric variants form part of tactical-warhead families intended for selected battlefield threats that can include:
Final target suitability depends on the verified warhead configuration, platform, engagement concept, and program qualification.
Controlled Weaponization Package
Integration is developed around the complete warhead and carrier-platform interface, including:
Potential carrier platforms include miniature UAVs, loitering munitions, and other compatible guided or unmanned systems.
Configuration Selection
Contact AI Armaments with the available payload capacity, installation envelope, intended target class, and interface requirements to determine the applicable thermobaric configuration.
