Design details[edit]

Main article: M57 Pilum

Ad Victoriam is an improved M57 that fires three laser-guided M29 50x130mm rockets in a "V" formation, all equipped with an airburst proximity fuse. The operator can use smart scope in order to guide the missiles with the reticle, and doing so will fire the missiles in a cluster rather than a "V" formation.[4]

Outwardly, the Ad Victoriam retains the standard M57 Pilum's chassis and mostly keeps its original paintjob but adds olive green and red stripes, along with a olive green falcon emblem in the middle part of the weapon on each side. The UNSC logos have also been moved closer to the front of the weapon.[5]
