− The '''Extended LRM''' ('''ELRM''') system was designed by engineers in the [[Federated Commonwealth]] at [[Coventry Metal Works]]<ref>''Tactical Handbook'', pp. 57-58</ref>, and developed in [[3054]] to offset the incredible range advantage of most [[Clan]] weapons. The ELRM pairs a [[LRM|standard LRM]] to a booster system that gives the missile more fuel, and thus, more range. Offsetting the range advantage is the fact that the minimum range of the weapon is increased by over 50%, combined with a reduced ammunition capacity and a heavier, bulkier launcher. + The '''Extended LRM''' ('''ELRM''') system was designed by engineers in the [[Federated Commonwealth]], and developed in [[3054]] to offset the incredible range advantage of most [[Clan]] weapons.

− The ELRM cannot use the improved guidance systems like the [[Artemis IV]] or [[Narc Missile Beacon]]. Special munitions are not available for the ELRM. If a rack of ELRMs fires at a target inside the minimum range, half the missiles will not arm.<ref name="TOp327">''Tactical Operations'', p. 327, "ELRM Launchers"</ref> + The ELRM cannot use the improved guidance systems like the [[Artemis IV]] or [[Narc Missile Beacon]].
