M180 Landbowman Ground Tactical Cruise Missile Launch System

A mobile launcher system with the launcher derived from the naval Longbowman Block II and armed with 6 TACRM-250 Longbow Block IIIG cruise missiles.

Lore

The M180 GTACRMLS, nicknamed Landbowman due to it being just a land-based variant of the naval Longbowman VLS, was made just a year after the Longbowman VLS itself along with the Longbow missiles were released. The design itself is simple; a Longbowman VLS put on a mobile land-based platform. Development only lasted 1 year, finishing in 1994, making it one of the fastest arms development program in the history of General Instruments. It is made to equip Campania's artillery force with state-of-the-art, long-range and high-yield missiles capable of conducting precision strikes.

Controls (besides the ones already on the truck):
AG5 : open breach (container doors)
AG7 : activate stands
VTOL : launcher elevation

The 6 missiles have different variables so that the folded fins can operate.

Another thing you can do is that because of the shape of the launcher, it can be camouflaged as a standard shipping container.

Credits to @Bullozeee for the truck platform!
