I was trying to think of what other warheads are currently out there with Mk82 form factors. There's a couple of low-collatwral damage types (one with reduced fill and one with a carbon fiber case) but I think that's about it for the US. Turkey apparently has a thermobaric version.What I'd especially want is something with more explosive fill. As a bottom-laid sea mine, a charge of <200 lb is a bit underwhelming. But adding more explosive at the expense of case thickness will screw up the weight of the warhead (fill being less dense than steel).
