The ELAAG variant is designed to operate in a space warfare environment, firing specialised gas-jacketed, armor-piercing depleted uranium 12.7x99mm rounds[2] with pressurised atmospheric contents to ensure an explosive percussion in a vaccuum or other challenging environments.[5]
The weapon is mounted in the rear of the Booster Frame, where it can be operated by another serviceman.[1]
