ASGM-12 (late Human-Covenant War)
The ASGM-12 missile, already haven proved itself sucessful when fired from UNSC fighter spacecraft, was, late in 2552, developed into a point defense weapon for capital ships by mounting it in 12 or 20-missile box launchers for use in intercepting Seraph Fighters, to suppliment the 50mm autocannons. These weapons designed to provide a capital ships with a capability to engage incoming fighters from a much greater distance than the autocannnons did. The missile batteries were mounted on many of the surviving UNSC capital ships and MAC stations. The missiles proved themselves as effective long-range Seraph-killers during the Second Battle of Earth and the Battle of the Ark, but were useless at close range, as proximity fused 50mm shells mistook them for enemy spacecraft and shot down friendly missiles
