Scorpion Missiles are a type of explosive ordnance used by the UNSC. These weapons are commonly mounted on the UNSC's SkyHawk jets and Longsword fighters for use in combat against the Covenant. They are equipped with motion tracking systems and proximity detonators, that greatly increase their chances of crippling or destroying a target. They are also able to attain high cruising speeds and are very accurate, thanks to their advanced guidance systems, which quickly locate and lock onto a target. Thanks to these state-of-the art features Scorpion missiles are capable of destroying even the most heavily armored of tanks and fighters.
