Argent V missile

"These missiles are specialized to target and deliver their warhead to an aircraft with great speed and maneuverability. The missile pods are quite large and can be reloaded via a mechanical system in the Wolverine, which stores a small supply of missiles on board."

- Halo Wars.com description

Argent V missiles can be used to destroy both surface and airborne targets. Though technically a strictly surface-to-air weapon, Argent V missile racks can be mounted to vehicles, thus allowing a greater range. Mendez had a rack of these missiles on his personal Warthog, back when he was a Chief Petty Officer while training the SPARTAN-II's on Reach.

The Argent V missiles are also loaded onto the MAAT-9 Wolverine anti-aircraft vehicle, and are especially effective against enemy aircrafts, though they can also be used to strike ground targets and structures as well. The Vulture gunship also carried pods loaded with an air-to-air variant of the Argent V to defend against Covenant fighters.
