Aerial Fragmentation Charge

The Aerial Precision Fragmentation Charge is a compact, directionally‑focussed payload engineered for rapid effects against soft and lightly armoured targets. Optimised for integration on unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV), it delivers a high‑density projectile pattern in a controlled opening angle to maximise effect while limiting collateral exposure. The charge’s modular fragment options (steel or tungsten) enable mission‑specific tailoring.

Why it matters

• High effect in a small form factor: 3,000 pre‑formed fragments and a >90° opening angle concentrate kinetic energy on the objective.
• UAV‑ready: top‑mounted M6 inserts support straightforward mechanical integration into a range of airframes.
• Configurable lethality: select steel or tungsten projectiles to balance penetration and weight, with documented penetration of >2 mm (steel) and >5 mm (tungsten) plate at representative standoff.

Typical applications

• Drone‑borne precision effects against materiel, light vehicles and hostile firing points
• Area denial and counter‑ambush in complex terrain
• Support to breaching or assaulting elements under overwatch
• Compliance & control: This product is a military munition subject to Australian and international export controls. Supply is restricted to authorised government end‑users and approved contractors.

FAQs

Can the fragment type be changed?

Yes, steel or tungsten loadings are available to tune penetration and mass.

Does it require a bespoke launcher?

No. The body includes M6 inserts for mechanical attachment to qualified UAV payload frames. (Initiation and release systems must be approved under the operator’s safety case.)
