The ASP-30 Grounder is a rocket launcher available to the Terran Republic. It is Auto Granted.

The Aircraft Seeking Projectile - 30 Grounder is a standard issue anti-air rocket launcher, capable of locking onto enemy aircraft to allow its missiles to automatically guide themselves at high speeds towards them. Dealing considerable damage against aircraft while retaining dumbfire capability, the launcher is a capable general purpose rocket launcher for those looking to keep anti-air in mind.

As with all anti-air lock-on weaponry, the LAV-LA can be fooled by the Decoy Flares utility, or prevented from locking on by the Lockon Jamming Field defense slot upgrade. Direct hits are still possible against targets employing these countermeasures, though guidance is fully impossible and guided missiles already in flight towards aircraft that trigger these effects will lose track and veer off target.

The Grounder can begin locking aircraft at 350 meters and maintain a lock out to 400 meters. It takes 1700ms (1.7s) to lock onto an aircraft.

The ASP-30 Grounder, Icon NC Hawk GD-68, Icon VS Nemesis VSH9, and Icon NSO LAV-LA are statistically identical.
