High Explosive Incendiary (HEI) is a type of missile warhead designed to cause maximum damage to its target. It combines the destructive power of a high explosive with the incendiary effects of a flammable material, such as thermite. HEI warheads are typically used in air-to-ground missiles, as they are capable of penetrating armor and causing significant damage to the target. The incendiary effects of the warhead can also be used to ignite fuel tanks and other flammable materials. HEI warheads are an important component of modern missiles and missile technology. They are used in a variety of applications, including air-to-air missiles, surface-to-air missiles, and anti-tank missiles. HEI warheads are also used in anti-ship missiles, as they are capable of causing significant damage to a ship's hull. Some of the companies in the HEI market include Raytheon, Lockheed Martin, Boeing, Northrop Grumman, and General Dynamics. These companies are involved in the development, production, and sale of HEI warheads and other missile components. Show Less Read more
