The '''M651 missile launcher''' is a heavy aerial-mounted weapon system employed by the [[United Nations Space Command]].{{Ref/Book|Id=Enc22|Enc22|Page=157}} They are classed as a '''Class-2 Guided Munition Launch System''' in UNSC inventories (compared to Class-1 GMLS' such as the [[M302 rocket pod]]).{{Ref/Book|Id=EVG|EVG|Page=96}} The weapon consists of five individual autoloading launch tubes, capable of firing lock on-capable [[ASGM-4 missile|M5607 ASGM-4 missiles]].{{Ref/Reuse|Missile}} Two such weapons are ventrally mounted on the underside skiffs of the standard [[AV-14 Hornet]] models.{{Ref/Reuse|Enc22}}

==Production notes==
In ''[[Halo: The Essential Visual Guide]]'', the Hornet's missile launcher is erroneously identified as being on the nose of the aircraft. The Class-2 GMLS caption points at the vehicle's nose-mounted targeting, sensor and camera array.{{Ref/Reuse|EVG}}
 
In ''[[Halo 3]]'', the missiles fired by the M651 launchers on the Hornet reuse the model of the [[ASGM-4 missile|M5607 ASGM-4 missile]] fired from the [[LAU-65D/SGM-151 missile pod]] weapon. Both sets of missiles in-game demonstrate broadly similar gameplay properties for tracking and explosive radius and damage, indicating that the two are intended to be one and the same in ''Halo'' canon. In ''[[Halo 2: Anniversary]]'' multiplayer, the Hornet reuses the model for the [[M19 missile]] - a surface-to-surface missile fired by the [[M41 SPNKr]] rocket launchers. Given that the M19 is much larger and explicitly a surface-to-surface missile, this article assumes the M5607 ASGM-4 to be the correct missile fired by the M651.
