Sparrow
The New Conglomerate's Anti-Aircraft MAX Sparrow configuration packs a powerful punch. After a relatively lengthy lock-on, its anti-air missiles feature a "fire-and-forget" tracking system, which will follow and attempt to strike the target aircraft for up to 500m. The automated tracking system makes it hard for pilots to avoid the missiles, which do reasonable damage. The missiles can also be dumb-fired and have splash damage upon impact, making the Sparrow quite useful for defending against infantry as well as aircraft.
