The '''surface-to-air missile launcher''', colloquially known as the '''SAM site''',<ref>[http://halo.bungie.net/News/content.aspx?type=topnews&cid=12516 Bungie Humpday Challenge 5/31/2007]</ref> is a [[UNSC]] weapons emplacement.

==Overview==
The surface-to-air missile launcher is a large multiple-launch-system emplacement, firing the [[Advanced Short-Range Ground-to-Air Missile 10X|ASRGAM 10X]] surface-to-air missile.

Such weapons were in use by the UNSC in [[Voi]] and [[Outpost C9]] during the [[Battle of Earth]].

==Trivia==
*The Surface-to-Air Missile launcher is present in ''[[Halo 3]]'' on the [[Campaign]] levels [[The Storm]] and [[Floodgate]], as well on the [[multiplayer]] level [[High Ground]]. It is unusable and serves only as scenery.
*For High Ground, Bungie had tried to have the SAM site AI-controlled, so that when players are charging up the map, there would be a risk of being killed by the launcher. Bungie had its AI capabilities removed, mainly because there was too much firepower coming down on the attackers.<ref>''[[Halo 3 ViDoc: Is Quisnam Protero Damno!]]''</ref>

-===Post-war launcher===
-Multiple of these kinds of launcher were used by the [[Office of Naval Intelligence]] to defend their [[Oasis (map)|black site]] surrounding the site of a recovered dormant [[Lifeworker terraforming vessel]]. Unlike the prior variant, they contain three blocks of four missiles.{{Ref/Map|HINF|Oasis}}
