Some theoretical aspects regarding thermobaric explosive mechanism are presented and experimental determinations are made considering the relation between the explosive core and the overall calibre of the munition. The interior and exterior ballistics of the munitions are estimated by mathematical models and the results are validated through experimental firings with the prototype munition.
