History & Description

The first and only Infantry Missile Launcher, it too is limited to Powered Armor and turret emplacement use like the ILC-01. The basic concept of the Infantry Missile Launcher is a missile is launched into the air with its propulsion system and then guided by a laser that is produced by the Launcher. The user can then guide the missile on a trajectory out of anti-missile fire and towards its intended target. The launcher magazine is in a half-backpack format and takes up half of the back adapter of a DΓ€mon Powered Armor. This gives the Armor the ability to hold two IML-01s. Unfortunately, due to the heavier weight of the Launcher and magazine combined, the soldier must be kneeling to fire. This means any infantryman carrying the IML-01s must be protected by his squad mates as he lines up for a shot. The magazine is also replaceable, but needs a second person to carry and replace the magazines.

Like the ILC-01, the IML-01 has yet to have any combat testing due to its singular mission parameters. However, the types of micro-missiles that can be used are high-explosive, EMP, and even fusion. This gives it the punch it needs to take out most aircraft used by militaries.
