==Description==
The '''SRM-2''' is a twin-tube [[short-range missile]] launcher mounted on [[battle armor]] suits.  SRMs were already one of the most powerful weapons available for conventional [[infantry]], and so following their introduction they quickly became a favorite weapon of battlesuit designs.  More bulky than the portable launchers carried by infantry, the reliable SRM-2 benefits from the advanced fire controls and stability provided by battle armor while remaining smaller per tube than vehicular launchers.<ref name=TM261>''TechManual'', p. 261</ref>

The drawback to the small size is that the SRM-2's ammunition is directly integrated into the launcher; should one of the tubes be damaged, missiles tied to it cannot be fed to the other tube to be launched.  The small size also means a more limited range of specialty ammunition is available - [[Inferno (Missile)|Inferno]], [[Torpedo]] or [[Multi-Purpose Missile]]s - given the lack of storage space and alternative loading mechanisms. Enhanced targeting gear like [[Artemis IV]] cannot be connected to the launcher.<ref name=TM261/>
