the M.M.S.

The Mobile Missile System, or M.M.S., is essentially a field programmable missile launching system. Easily towed by virtually any vehicle in the Joe arsenal, this platform is equipped to fire three Patriot missiles at an opponent, with an approximate range of thirty miles.

Patriot missiles themselves possess intensity 12 flight, allowing them to reach Mach 3 speed - which makes them quite hard to avoid once they get up to speed. The missiles themselves detonate with intensity 13 force, doing so in such a manner to affect all within striking (near missile) distance equally.

The Patriot missiles themselves have a material strength of 6, while the M.M.S. unit itself possesses a material strength of 8. Firing the missiles is, in and of itself, an Intellect action, as it involves operating a computer console to program the projectiles. The operation of the M.M.S. is enhanced by these features:

Gear Cases: the M.M.S. has various kits tacked onto it, should some sort of emergency arise. For instance, it has a fully stocked first aid kit, tool kit, and likely has a small compartment full of field-replaceable components for the computer control console that is used to acquire targets.

Integral Radar Tracking System: in order to aid the Patriot missiles' travel, the M.M.S. is guided by a powerful radar system which allows it to track targets designated by the field operator on land or in the air - or simply be used to acquire targets all by itself. This is an intensity 8 radar system.

Stabilizer Legs: like the H.A.L., the M.M.S. is fully equipped with hydraulic stabilizer legs, enabling it to be utilized in almost any terrain, assuming that solid ground is handy. Deepest desert, darkest jungle, or iciest tundra - it makes no difference, as the M.M.S. can fire the same in any of these terrains.
