The Typhoon Missile Launcher is a type of Imperial Missile Launcher mounted on Space Marine Land Speeder Typhoons and on the Stormtalon gunship. They are similar to the Cyclone Missile Launcher but fire heavier missiles more rapidly than the Cyclone Launcher.
They are useful in that Typhoon missiles are gyro-stablised so that they can be undergoing rapid movement whilst still launching accurately, unlike the munitions used by standard Missile Launchers. This quality is essential for a weapon used onboard the lightly armoured and extremely mobile Landspeeder.
