This paper presents the measurement method and results applicable to the pressure pulses and thermal effects generated by an explosion of an unguided thermobaric rocket missile warhead. The determination results include the shock wave pressure and velocity, the TNT equivalents of the thermobaric warheads, and the personnel strike radii of the shock wave. An estimation of the temperature increase rates at the shock wave front was also undertaken.
