The '''M12A1 Light Anti-Armor Vehicle''',<ref name="manual"/><ref name="ENC"/><ref name="waypoint"/><ref name="CU"/> abbreviated as '''M12A1 LAAV''' and commonly referred to as the '''Rocket Warthog''', is a [[United Nations Space Command|UNSC]] ground vehicle. It is a variant of the [[M12 Force Application Vehicle]].

==Design details==
The M12A1 LAAV is one of the UNSC's anti-armor vehicles, designed to quickly and efficiently defeat lightly armored vehicles. Despite this, it was rarely employed in the [[Human-Covenant War]].<ref name="waypoint"/> Unlike other M12 variants, the M12A1 can be differentiated by its appearance; the M12A1 Rocket Warthog is painted in black and has yellow paint stripes lined through the base. Its seats are also yellow and its tires have a darker color tone than those of the standard Warthog.

The M12A1 is equipped with a mounted [[M39 rocket turret]]<ref name="waypoint"/><ref name="CU"/> which fires three [[M19 missile|M19 SC-HE rockets]]<ref name="manual"/> and requires four seconds to reload when the magazine is depleted.

==Appearances==
In the [[Halo E3 2000 Trailer|E3 2000 ''Halo: Combat Evolved'' trailer]], the featured Warthog sported a cannon that fired missiles like the M12A1 cannon, but looked like ''[[Halo 2]]''<nowiki />'s [[M12G1 Light Anti-Armor Vehicle|M12G1 LAAV's]] [[M68 Gauss Cannon|gauss cannon]].

The M12A1 LAAV made its first in-game appearance in ''[[Halo PC]]''<nowiki/>'s multiplayer mode, and was thus later included in the ''Halo: Combat Evolved'' multiplayer component of ''[[Halo: The Master Chief Collection]]''.

The Rocket Warthog was intended to be featured in ''[[Halo: Ground Command]]'' as part of an upgrade package for the Warthog vehicle alongside quad-treads from the [[M862 Arctic Warthog]].''<ref name="CU">[https://www.halowaypoint.com/en-us/news/community-update-summer-red-summer-blue '''Halo Waypoint''': ''Community Update - Summer Red, Summer Blue'']</ref>
