==Overview==
==Overview==
The surface-to-air missile launchers in UNSC service are large multiple-launch-system emplacements, firing missiles at enemy aircraft. There are two major known variants of launcher, with broadly similar designs;
The surface-to-air missile launcher is a large multiple-launch-system emplacement, firing the [[Advanced Short-Range Ground-to-Air Missile 10X|ASRGAM 10X]] surface-to-air missile.{{Ref/NoteReuse|Missile}} Such weapons were in use by the UNSC in [[Voi]] and [[Outpost C9]] during the [[Battle of Earth]].{{Ref/Level|H3|The Storm}}{{Ref/Level|H3|Floodgate}}{{Ref/Map|Id=HG|H3|High ground}}
===War-era launcher===
This SAM launcher used by [[human]]ity during the [[Battle for Earth]]. It can load three [[Advanced Short-Range Ground-to-Air Missile 10X|ASGRAM 10X]] missiles for firing, with racks of four additional ASRGAM 10Xs often seen accompanying it. Such weapons were in use by the UNSC in [[Voi]] and [[Outpost C9]] during the [[Battle of Earth]].{{Ref/Level|H3|The Storm}}{{Ref/Level|H3|Floodgate}}{{Ref/Map|Id=HG|H3|High ground}}

===Post-war launcher===
Multiple of these kinds of launcher were used by the [[Office of Naval Intelligence]] to defend their [[Oasis (map)|black site]] surrounding the site of a recovered dormant [[Lifeworker terraforming vessel]]. Unlike the prior variant, they contain three blocks of four missiles.{{Ref/Map|HINF|Oasis}}

==In-game information==
===''Halo 3''===
The Surface-to-Air Missile launcher is present in ''[[Halo 3]]'' on the [[Campaign]] levels [[The Storm]] and [[Floodgate]], as well on the [[multiplayer]] level [[High Ground]]. It is unusable and serves only as scenery.
 
===''Halo Infinite''===
SAM launchers are present in a scenery role on the ''[[Halo Infinite]]'' map [[Oasis]]. They are also placeable scenery objects in [[Forge/Halo Infinite|Forge]] mode.


==Production notes==
==Trivia==
For High Ground, Bungie had tried to have the SAM site AI-controlled, so that when players are charging up the map, there would be a risk of being killed by the launcher. Bungie had its AI capabilities removed, mainly because there was too much firepower coming down on the attackers.{{Ref/Marketing|H3|Ad=Halo 3 ViDoc: Is Quisnam Protero Damno!}}
