The '''Airbursting Fragmentation Projector'''¹ or '''Launcher''' is an experimental [[special issue]] [[Tau]] weapon, currently undergoing field tests. It launches a a proximity-fused explosive projectile, launched on a trajectory computed by an onboard on-board [[drone ]] intelligence^2pg10, that calculate the precise height and distance from the other munitions to provide maximum effect.^{{Fn|1}}{{Fn|2}}

Due to the size of the weapon, it can only be carried by [[Crisis Battlesuit|Crisis Battlesuit]]s. Currently, it is only provided to [[Tau Commander]]s and [[Crisis Battlesuit Bodyguard]] units.¹ The munition is fired at a high angle and explodes directly above the target, negating the effects of any cover the foe might be using. The weapon has proved effective against swarms of [[Tyranids and against chameleionic Tyranids]], including those with chameleonic properties. Another major advantage of the weapon is that it can be targeted on an enemy even if the user does not have a direct line of sight to it, due to it's indirect fire trajectory.^2pg10{{Fn|2}}
