| | The '''Hydra MLRS''' is a series of infantry support weapons employed by the [[UNSC]] and manufactured by [[Chalybs Defense Solutions]]. |
| The '''Multiple Launch Rocket System (MLRS) Gyroc Launcher''', colloquially nicknamed the '''Hydra''', is a series of handheld missile launchers developed by [[Chalybs Defense Solutions]] for use by the military forces of the [[United Nations Space Command]].{{Ref/Site|Id=universe|URL=https://www.halowaypoint.com/en-us/universe/weapons/hydra-launcher|Site=Halo Waypoint|Section=Universe, Weapons|Page=Hydra Launcher|D=30|M=10|Y=2021|LocalArchive=https://archives.halopedia.org/waypoint/www.halowaypoint.com/en-us/universe/weapons/hydra-launcher.html}}{{Ref/Book|Id=Enc22|Enc22|Page=177}} | |

| ===Design details===
| | <gallery> |
| Hydras are multiple-rocket launchers designed to fire 9X-G high explosive, airbursting (HEAB) gyroscopically-stabilised rockets. They are infantry-portable and held akin to a [[rifle]]. The fore of the weapon contains a revolving cylinder typically holding six rockets which can be semi-automatically fired in rapid succession. The Hydra's most unique feature is its lock-on. The weapons' targeting and detection suite is capable of locking onto enemy infantry and vehicles, with the rockets fired self-guiding onto these targets.{{Ref/Reuse|universe}}{{Ref/Reuse|Enc22}}

| ===History===
| |
| Hydras are relatively recent additions into the UNSC arsenal. As of [[2558]], the MLRS-1 Hydra had only been issued to operatives of the [[Spartan Operations]] division and had yet to see widespread usage among the regular military.{{Ref/Reuse|universe}}
| |
| | |
| ==Variants==
| |
| There are two major production lines of the Hydra in service - the MLRS-1 and MLRS-2. Each line has its own sub-variants.
