Its use is only entrusted to a number of senior Fire Caste T'au Commanders.Ī known variant of the Airbursting Fragmentation Projector is the Microburst Fragmentation Launcher.

The Airbursting Fragmentation Projector is currently still undergoing field tests and thus is considered a special-issue weapon to T'au forces due to its experimental nature. This artificial intelligence (AI) calculates the precise height and distance of each submunition it fires so as to provide optimum explosive damage across a wide area. The weapon operates by firing a proximity-fused explosive projectile on a trajectory computed by a simple on-board Drone intelligence within the warhead itself.

The Airbursting Fragmentation Projector is an experimental weapon developed by the T'au Empire during the Third Sphere Expansion. The newest pattern of the T'au Airbursting Fragmentation Projector These weapons and devices are special-issue and only given to those experienced commanders who can field-test the weaponry. As such, there are several pieces of T'au weaponry and wargear that have been designated as experimental for various reasons. Another common feature of T'au technology is its constant adaptation to meet the ever-changing needs of the battlefield. However, the T'au Empire also has developed weapons for allied races such as the Kroot and Vespid. Pulse and Rail Weapons technology are such examples, and can be seen as the "trademark" weapons of the T'au armed forces. The T'au Empire uses a variety of advanced weaponry developed by the Earth Caste that are often technologically superior to those of other races. 1.1 Airbursting Fragmentation Projector.This page will describe the various weapon types and common equipment used by the T'au Fire Caste and their Kroot, Vespid and even Human allies.

There is no challenge we cannot overcome, no wisdom we cannot master, no opposition we cannot defeat. " Technology is more than merely the means by which weapons are forged, my student, it is proof that we shall prevail.
