[[Image:Smart Missile System models.jpg|right|thumb|Smart Missile System models, The top one is vehicle mounted, the bottom one is fitted on a XV8 serie battlesuit]] == Deployment Overview==Both A '''Smart Missile System''' is a system of missile launchers that fires self-propelled auto-tracking missiles. The tracking system is provided by a [[Drone]]-level artificial intelligence who makes the projectile completely independent of the firing unit. This allows for the firer to engage targets that are outside their line-of-sight, and the missiles are not affected by fighting in low-light or nighttime conditions.<sup>1</sup><sup>2</sup> Presently, the [[Devilfish]], [[Hammerhead]] and [[Sky Ray]] vehicles [[grav-tank]]s use Smart Missile Systems as secondary weapons, they . They are also used on [[Battlesuit#Broadside Battlesuit|Broadside Battlesuit]]s by default and on the [[Battlesuit#XV81 Crisis Battlesuit|XV81 Crisis Battlesuit]]. Together, the missile launchers fire a hail of autonomously guiding light warheads which can pepper the target unit with low-yield explosives.A Smart Missile System can target foes it can not see.
