==Hydra Platform==
[[Image:HydraPlatform.jpg|thumb|right|Hydra Weapons Platform<sup>3</sup>]]
The '''Hydra Platform''' utilizes the same automated quad-[[autocannon]] turret as found on the [[Hydra Flak Tank]]. They are typically deployed to defend important static targets against air attacks such as bridges, command posts and airfields.<sup>1</sup>
==Manticore Platform==
[[Image:ManticorePlatform.jpg|thumb|right|Manticore Weapons Platform<sup>4</sup>]]
The least common of the weapons platforms, '''Manticore Platforms''' are equipped with four [[Manticore Missile]]s. This makes them highly versatile and able to fulfill multiple roles, from air defense to offensive bombardment, depending on the warhead with which they are armed. Such is the value of these platforms that it is standard practice to defend a Manticore site with a dedicated squad or platoon.<sup>1</sup>
