This is the penetration warhead for a future short range ballistic missile under development, re entry speed will be 3.5 mach at the max. It will be on the nose of the missile. Diameter is 400 mm.
It will be able to destroy fortified objects like bunkers, bridges, etc. Naval targets suggests it will have some type of seeker but that is yet to be seen.

Good question, most of the senior engineers are South African but there are a lot of Emirati junior engineers involved in Halcon.
If I was to estimate they probably have 200 engineers of Emirati origin in the company currently but this is the CEOs goal. Linkedin shows a lot of Emirati engineers working in various deparments but many people dont use Linkedin.
"Another priority for Al Mansoori is local recruitment. While the company has drawn on overseas talent from Brazil, South Africa and elsewhere, it has a scheme – Project 400 – to recruit and train 400 Emiratis as missile specialists. “Over the next 15 to 20 years, maybe as few as 10, we will be in a position where we can rely on UAE engineers in most areas of guided weapons,” he says."
