LRG224 Multipurpose Railgun Artillery System

Though it certainly would have been welcome among the various special weapons projects of Project TEMERITY, the LRG224 Multipurpose Raingun Artillery System was developed separately by the UNSC Army Ordnance Corps, originally as a heavy anti air artillery piece, allowing defending ground forces far superior capabilities against invading aircraft and warships.

n9:abstract

Though it certainly would have been welcome among the various special weapons projects of Project TEMERITY, the LRG224 Multipurpose Raingun Artillery System was developed separately by the UNSC Army Ordnance Corps, originally as a heavy anti air artillery piece, allowing defending ground forces far superior capabilities against invading aircraft and warships. Though certainly effective against smaller craft, such as fighters and dropships, and equally effective at providing indirect fire support against ground targets, it was primarily designed to hammer the larger targets presented by enemy warships, bringing their shields down to allow missiles and fighters to damage the vulnerable hull underneath. Though research began in 2545, the first production units only entered service in 2552, seeing deployment in the Minorca, Reach and Earth combat theatres, but would see far wider service in the post-war period, established as a cheaper alternative to Orbital Defence Platforms for smaller colonies. A number of variants would be developed for specialisation niches, but the basic Chernabog artillery piece would become a favourite among UNSC Army artillery regiments.
