thumb|W82 AFAP (bottom)|300 px

The W82 (also known as the XM785 shell) was a low-yield tactical nuclear warhead developed by the United States and designed to be used in a 155 mm artillery shell. It was conceived as a more flexible replacement for the W48, the previous generation of nuclear artillery shell. A previous attempt to replace the W48 with the W74 munition was canceled due to cost.
