==Description==
The '''MRM-3''' is a triple-tube [[Medium Range Missile]] launcher mounted on [[battle armor]] suits, first employed as such following the [[Draconis Combine]]'s [[Combine-Ghost Bear War|war]] with [[Clan Ghost Bear]].  It shares the same properties as MRMs used by [[BattleMechs]], making it cheaper to produce than [[LRM]]s while boasting a longer range than [[SRM]]s.  However these unguided projectiles have a reduced explosive yield compared to SRMs, cannot accept specialty warheads, and the launcher cannot be linked to enhanced targeting gear like [[Artemis IV]].  Because the ammunition is integrated into the launcher, the MRM-3 cannot "cross-feed" missiles in case one of the firing tubes is damaged.  The only advantages then is the fact that the MRM-3 takes up less space and weighs less than an equivalent LRM launcher, allowing more to be packed into a smaller frame.<ref>''TechManual'', p. 229</ref><ref>''TechManual'', p. 261</ref>
