Air Weapons
From The StarCraft 2 Wiki
Air Weapons is an upgrade that is available for the Protoss that enhances the damage output of all air units that are built from the Stargate and a few from the Robotics Facility. It is researched from the Cybernetics Core and, like all weapon and armor upgrades, it has a research time that is noticeably longer than the units build duration.
