Plasma charge
From Halopedia, the Halo wiki
The plasma charge is a Covenant air-to-ground plasma weapon utilized by Type-31 Seraph fighters for ground bombardment. They are initially focused pillars of superheated gas, but quickly lose integrity and billow out into destructive conflagrations that can overwhelm even SPARTAN-III battle armor, as seen in the tragic Operation: TORPEDO, where there was sustained usage of plasma charges which were sufficient to slaughter dozens of the commandos of Beta Company in the open. The only way for the Spartan-IIIs to survive the attack were for them to find cover.[1]
These seem to be the Covenant equivalent of unguided bombs or rockets, used in a similar manner and functioning in a similar capacity.
