General Details
Name: Arrow IV System
Type (Category): Weapon (Area-Effect)
Technology: Inner Sphere, Clan
Available To: BattleMechs
Reference: Tactical Operations: Advanced Units & Equipment (p. 96)
Description:Loosely based on short-range ballistic missile technology, the Arrow IV system is a sophisticated, missile-based artillery weapon that debuted during the Age of War. Lost after the last of the Terran Hegemony’s major producers were destroyed in the wake of the Star League’s collapse, the technology was revived by Capellan engineers—armed with the knowledge of the Helm Memory Core—from the handful of mothballed samples they unearthed in the mid-3040s.
Game Rules:The Arrow IV Artillery Missile launcher uses the standard rules for Indirect Artillery and Direct-Fire Artillery, as well as Counter-Battery Fire, but can also employ specialized homing rounds that work in conjunction with friendly Target Acquisition Gear (TAG) systems.
Construction Rules:
May be mounted on any available unit type with adherence to the following construction rules:  Not allowed if Land-Air (Bimodal), or Land-Air (Standard) is selected for the unit’s Chassis
