An airburst round is a type of tactical anti-personnel explosive ammunition, typically a shell or grenade, that detonates in midair, causing air burst effect fragment damage to an enemy. This makes it easier to hit enemy soldiers behind a wall, in a defensive fighting position, or in a confined space or room. It is used on many guns, from artillery to the hand-held XM25 Individual Airburst Weapon System (derived from the XM29 OICW). Unlike traditional grenades, such as the 40 mm grenade, smart grenades can be electronically programmed to explode after traveling a certain distance. A fire control computer or some other electronic sighting system is used to quickly program the electronic fuse with any distance, as conditions dictate.

| - Eine Air Burst Munition (englisch „in der Luft explodierende Munition“), auch kurz ABM, ist eine spezielle Munitionsart, die durch eine Zerlegerladung in der Luft zur Explosion gebracht wird. ABM ist dadurch charakterisiert, dass sie vor oder über dem Ziel explodiert, ohne beispielsweise durch einen Aufschlagzünder ausgelöst zu werden. Durch diese Art der Zerlegung erzeugt sie eine Wolke von Splittern oder Submunitionen und ist daher eine moderne Form des Schrapnells. (de)
