Aside from reintroducing the [[Arrow IV]] launcher for the Draconis Combine, Shigunga Missiles Division received increasing prominence during the [[Clan Invasion era]] with its development of the [[Medium Range Missile]] (MRM) launcher system in [[3058]]. With the battered DCMS looking for lower cost, easy to manufacture and homegrown weapon system easily useable by hordes of green troops as it rebuilt in the wake of the [[Truce of Tukayyid]], Shigunga responded by repurposing its efforts on prototype "[[Dead-Fire Missiles]]" to develop an entirely new launcher that could provide unguided saturation fire in the midrange bracket. While derided by elite warriors, the success of the MRM soon resulted in launchers appearing widely across the Combine and [[Inner Sphere]], in either licensed or unlicensed form.<ref name=TMp227>''TechManual'', p. 227: "Missile Launchers - Long-Range Missiles LRMs) - Medium-Range Missiles (MRM)"</ref><ref name=ER3062p105>''Era Report: 3062'', p. 105: "Museum Technica - Medium-Range Missiles"</ref>

While [[Short Range Missile|Short Range]] and [[Streak Missile Launcher]]s largely remained the preserve of [[Guided Technologies]] within the Combine, Shigunga leveraged their LRM launcher manufacturing facilities to introduce locally built copies of the SRM and LRM firing [[Multi-Missile Launcher]]s that emerged during the [[Word of Blake]] [[Jihad]]. By the [[Dark Age era]] Shigunga were able to manufacture [[Clan]] grade version of at least some of its LRM launchers.<ref name=TR3145DCp45>''Technical Readout: 3145 Draconis Combine'', p. 45: "SH-1V Shiro"</ref>
