Laser Anti-Missile System

Description

The Laser Anti-Missile System (LAMS) is an advanced variation of the standard Anti-Missile Systems fielded by both Inner Sphere and Clan militaries. While the standard system utilizes a machine gun mated to specialized tracking systems, the LAMS uses a Small Pulse Laser, ensuring that the system never runs out of ammunition.

While solving the frequent lament of the standard system, the disadvantage is that even with the strength of each laser pulse reduced to the minimum required to destroy missiles, the heat build-up is significant and highly variable.

The LAMS can not only be mounted on BattleMechs, but also on vehicles. As its heat build-up is highly variable, the vehicle must carry enough heat sinks to counter the highest possible output the LAMS can produce (12 heat points).

The LAMS is available to both Clan and Inner Sphere.
