The AGILE instrument is designed to detect and image gamma-rays in the 30 MeV--50 GeV energy band. Its sensitivity, angular resolution, short deadtime (≲ 1 ms) and large field of view (2 sr) are ideal to study gamma-ray bursts (GRBs). An additional ultra-light coded mask imaging system (Super-AGILE) will allow detection in the ~ 10-40 keV range and positioning of GRBs within a few arcminutes depending on burst fluence. The AGILE mission is planned to be operational during the years 2002-2005. It will be the only mission entirely dedicated to gamma-ray astrophysics to study GRBs in the energy range above 30 MeV during that period.
