[[Image:SMhunter.jpg|thumb|right|Space Marine Hunter<sup>{{Fn|2</sup>}}]]The [[Space Marine]] '''Hunter''' Multi-Launcher is a an anti-aircraft support vehicle based on the [[Rhino]]-chassis.{{Fn|1a}} A variant of the [[Whirlwind]], it is based anti-aircraft support vehicleon [[STC]] data which is much older than the more recent [[Whirlwind Hyperios]]. {{Fn|3}} <sup>1a</sup>
The Hunter is the first known dedicated anti-aircraft platform fielded by the [[Adeptus Astartes]]. Prior to the discovery of the [[STC]] for the Hunter, Space Marine forces had attempted to retrofit various designs to the [[Whirlwind]] artillery vehicle, with largely negative results (though a stable pattern of anti-aircraft Whirlwind was ultimately achieved in the [[Whirlwind Hyperios|Hyperios]]). {{Fn|1a}}
The hunter missile used by the multi-launcher is faster and more accurate than those used by Whirlwinds, and the vehicle itself has a longer operational range. The missile is guided by a large scanning array that features an algorithmic precognitive [[targeter]]. STC Hunters feature one launch tube fed by a single rotary system, but some [[Techmarines]] have modified their charges with dual magazines. {{Fn|1a}}
