This innovative weapon by Kaller mounts racks of 38mm MLI38 missiles. The missiles are a unified two-stage design that carry submunitions. The weapon can either use an EM signature lock or dumbfire modes.

The MLI has the ability to acquire a lock on its targets. To lock-on, operators must simply keep the enemy vehicle in the reticule while sighted for a few seconds with the trigger depressed. A marker and an audio warning will confirm lock-on, then the trigger is released. Each MLI round contains guided submunitions that split up and seek the target independently. The user manual instructs operators to acquire a lock first and then arc the firing angle upwards if fighting mechanized infantry or hard armor to ensure the full delivery of all submunitions. Extremely effective against Aerocraft. The missile system thankfully mitigates backblast but is not recoilless. If using in enclosed spaces while dumbfiring, operators should avoid aiming too close or risk severe personal injury and/or death.
