MercTech: Advanced Tactical Missiles

Developed by Clan Coyote in the 3050s and entering production by the turn of the decade, Advanced Tactical Missiles offer unseen flexibility in a missile system, employing adjustable launch rails that can load its own proprietary ammunition. ATMs come in 3, 6, 9 and 12 tube versions, and uses an integrated Artemis-IV fire control system built into the launcher itself. ATMs fire three different types of missiles:

Standard: A mid-ranged missile with power comparable to that of an SRM, although it has a short arming range.

High-Explosive: A short-ranged missile that is half-again as powerful as an SRM.

Extended-Range: Comparable in power to an LRM, but with even greater range. Unlike the Clan LRMs, this missile has an arming range.

So far, Inner Sphere scientists have been unable to reverse-engineer ATM technology, although the development of the Multi-Missile Launcher grants Inner Sphere units a comparatively versatile missile system that loads common missiles.
