The M9 Main Anti-Aircraft Tank, commonly referred to as the Wolverine, is a self-propelled United Nations Space Command anti-aircraft artillery half-track which has proven itself against both air and ground targets.

The Wolverine featured prominently during the Human-Covenant war on Harvest, Arcadia, Dwarka, Miridem, Troy and Jericho VII.

The factory that produced the Wolverine design and parts was located on Mars, and was bombed in 2535 (presumably by Insurrectionists), at least temporarily halting further production of the unit,

However, either reserves were dug out or production somehow resumed as it was used to an extent during the Battle of Draetheus V.

As the name suggests, the M9 Main Anti-Aircraft Tank is designed for anti-air combat. In its arsenal consists of a M260 Multiple Launch Rocket System which fire Argent V Missiles specialized to target and deliver their warhead to an aircraft with great speed and maneuverability. The missile pods are quite large and can be reloaded via a mechanical system in the Wolverine, which stores a small supply of missiles on board.

The laser tracking targeting systems and anti-air capabilities of the Wolverine are second to none, but it can also angle its missile pods to launch missiles at ground targets, preferably stationary targets or structures. Although air vehicles generally know to steer clear, the Wolverine is quite vulnerable to anti-armor attacks both from vehicles or heavily armed infantry, possessing only light armor. However, it is a versatile unit for rough terrain operations.

The driver has the use of a pivoting XM511 Heavy Grenade Launcher for defense from ground attacks, which can potentially wreck soft targets, but this support vehicle relies on heavier units to defend it from a determined attack.
