Apocalypse Missile Launcher

The Apocalypse Missile Launcher is a multiple launch rocket system (a rocket artillery system) commonly mounted on the carapace of Reaver-class Titans or the carapace hard points of an Imperator-class Titan. This weapon can fire guided and unguided projectiles. Firing ballistic missiles it can hit a target a substantial distance away. The Apocalypse Missile Launcher is often employed using 'shoot-and-scoot' tactics - firing its rockets rapidly, then moving away to avoid counter fire.

Operation
The Apocalypse Missile Launcher unit comprises of the Apocalypse Launcher loaded with 20 rockets, packaged in two 10-rocket pods. The launcher, which is mounted on a Titan chassis, is a highly automated self-loading and self-aiming system. It contains a fire control computer that integrates the vehicle and rocket-launching operations. The rockets can be fired individually or in ripples of 2 to 20. Accuracy is maintained in all firing modes because the computer re-aims the launcher between rounds. The fire control auspex allows firing missions to be carried out either manually or automatically. In a typical fire mission, a command post transmits the selected target data directly to the computer. The computer aims the launcher and prompts the crew to arm and fire a pre-selected number of rounds. Multiple mission sequences can be pre-programmed and stored in the computer by the attendant Moderati.
