Warhead

Warhead referred to the explosive carried by projectile weapons designed to detonate on impact with or proximity to a given target, such as the concussion missile or proton torpedo. Other types included the advanced torpedo, missile, advanced missile, and mag pulse. The word was also used as a generic term for such ordnance.

Concussion weapons utilized armor-piercing warheads, while proton torpedoes were armed with a proton-scattering energy warhead.
