==Description==
 
==Description==
The '''Arrow IV''' is a stand-alone, missile-based artillery system, designed to augment conventional systems such as the [[Long Tom Artillery Piece|Long Tom]] and the [[Sniper Artillery Piece|Sniper]]. It was first introduced by the [[Terran Hegemony]] in [[2593]] and became a staple of the [[Star League Defense Force]] by [[2600]].<ref name="TOp284">''Tactical Operations: Advanced Units & Equipment'', p. 165: "Artillery - Arrow IV Artillery Missile"</ref>  <ref name="IOp70">''Interstellar Operations'', p. 70: "Arrow-P"</ref> Although the technology to create Arrow IVs was lost during the Star League's collapse, it was recovered by [[Capellan Confederation]] engineers in [[3044]] working off of surviving examples and the [[Helm Memory Core]].
+
The '''Arrow IV''' is a stand-alone, missile based, artillery system, designed to augment conventional systems such as the [[Long Tom Artillery Piece|Long Tom]] and the [[Sniper Artillery Piece|Sniper]]. It can be equipped with standard area saturation missile or homing missiles which work in concert with a forward unit carrying [[Target Acquisition Gear]]. The Clan version is lighter, and can also deliver a '''FASCAM''' (Field Artillery Scatterable Mines) round.
  
Arrow IV launchers can be equipped with standard unguided area saturation missiles, causing massive damage to any unit within its 45-meter blast radius, or [[Arrow IV Homing Missile|homing missiles]] which work in concert with forward units carrying [[Target Acquisition Gear]] to lessen collateral damage. The Prototype (known as the Arrow-P) version is bulkier and heavier than a standard Arrow IV launcher by a ton, and can only carry 4 shots per ton of conventional homing ammo.<ref name="IOp70">''Interstellar Operations'', p. 70: "Arrow-P"</ref> The Clan version is lighter than both, and can also deliver a '''FASCAM''' (Field Artillery Scatterable Mines) round.<ref name="BT:MRp123+">''BattleTech Master Rules'', pp. 123–124: "Artillery Weapons - Arrow IV Artillery Missile System"</ref>
