Key Specs
Type
Ultra-High-Performance Plastic Explosive
Formulation
PETN + HMX in advanced elastomeric binder matrix
AEROEX
AEROEX is a high-blast, thermobaric-enhanced plastic explosive designed for maximum overpressure and thermal impulse. It is ideal for urban warfare, enclosed structure clearance, and personnel-targeted operations where volumetric expansion and air-fuel reactions amplify lethality. AEROEX excels as the main charge in tandem warheads, UAS loitering munitions, and stand-alone breaching munitions used against bunkers, caves, or urban strongpoints.
