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