The Multiple Launch Rocket System-2 Hydra Gyroc Launcher (MLRS-2 Hydra)[1] is a weapon in the Hydra line of gyroc missile launchers built by Chalybs Defense Solutions and employed by the United Nations Space Command.[1] The weapon succeeds the previous MLRS-1 model.
Overview
Design details
As with its predecessor, the MLRS-1, the MLRS-2 Hydra is a semi-automatic missile launcher equipped by infantry forces for use against other infantry and vehicles. The weapon is arranged in a manner similar to a conventional rifle, albeit with a more angular body than its predecessor. The fore of the weapon contains a revolving cylinder which stocks six 9X-G High Explosive, Air Bursting (HEAB) gyroscopically-stabilised missiles. These missiles can be individually-fired by the operator with a semi-automatic fire mode in either dumb-fire or locked-on to enemies. When locking onto enemies, the weapon's integrated semi-automatic tracking and targeting systems allow the operator to target enemy infantry or individual parts of vehicles for the missiles to home in on.[1]
Warnings on the body of the MLRS-2 Hydra recommend using only approved UNSC munitions.[2]
Variants
- Pursuit Hydra: The Pursuit Hydra locks onto targets more quickly and fires projectiles at greater velocities, making it more effective at longer ranges.[3]

History
MLRS-2 Hydra units are either tested or manufactured at the Seattle Complex, United Republic of North America.[2] Succeeding the MLRS-1 model, the MLRS-2 was in use by UNSC forces by 2559. In this time, it was employed during the Battle for Zeta Halo.[4] While fighting the Master Chief, the Jiralhanae Warlord Tremonius used a Hydra against the Spartan.[5]
