The blunt nose contains the active sonar seeker with the 75-pound (34 kg) high-explosive warhead immediately behind it. The second section contains the guidance and gyroscopes. The third contains the 24 kilowatt seawater battery which uses silver chloride and magnesium electrodes with seawater acting as the electrolyte.
Warhead uses a stand-off probe, which is located on the ogive of the projectile, to penetrate the armour. 95 mm High Explosive Anti-Tank anti-armour warhead An upgraded warhead capable of penetrating 710 mm of rolled homogeneous armour. It is less expensive to produce than the 92 mm warhead. 94 mm High Explosive Multi-Purpose warhead
It is an aluminized (powdered aluminum) explosive having the same order of sensitivity as Composition B. [1]Tests indicate that it is about 98% to 100% as powerful as Torpex, that it is definitely less sensitive than Torpex in both laboratory impact and bullet impact, that it is slightly more sensitive in these respects than TNT, and that it is about the same order as Composition B.

The Mokopa uses a powerful tandem shaped charge, high-explosive anti-tank (HEAT) warhead, able to penetrate over 1,000 mm (3.3 ft) (tests show over 1,000 mm) of rolled homogeneous armour (RHA), and also effective against explosive reactive armour (ERA). Thus, the Mokopa can counter any current vehicle armour threats.
- M48 ATACMS deliver a single, 500-pound (230-kg) high-explosive warhead at a range of 70 to 300 km (40 to 190 miles). The explosion sends hundreds of thousands of fragments across its target area.
