An Argent V missile in-flight.

"These missiles are specialized to target and deliver their warhead to an aircraft with great speed and maneuverability. The missile pods are quite large and can be reloaded via a mechanical system in the Wolverine, which stores a small supply of missiles on board."
halowars.com description

Argent V missiles, also designated M4510 ASGM-2,[1] are 65mm[2] missiles capable of destroying both surface targets and aircraft. These missiles are usually mounted on the M12R Rocket Warthog, the M9 Main Anti-Aircraft Tank, and the AC-220 Gunship.[3][4]

Franklin Mendez was known to mount a rack of these missiles on his personal Warthog, back when he was training the SPARTAN-II's on Reach as a Chief Petty Officer.[5] Ilsa Zane was also known to operate a similarly-modified vehicle.[2]

Trivia

Argent is a French word meaning "silver".
