The MAAWS (Multi-role Anti-Armor Weapon System) is a free-fire laser-guided rocket launcher, and also a 9-point (8 with Hardline) Support strike chain reward featured in Call of Duty: Ghosts. It also appears in Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare.
Call of Duty: Ghosts

Campaign
The MAAWS appears in the campaign once, in Brave New World, where it is used to shoot down an Mi-24 Hind and an EC-635 assaulting the Liberty Wall. Unlike its multiplayer and Extinction counterpart, each fired rocket remains intact instead of splitting into two others.
Multiplayer
The MAAWS appears in multiplayer. When fired, the rocket splits into two other rockets and can lock onto enemy aircraft and aerial pointsreaks (as well as the user's killstreaks). There is a Laser Sight attached to the weapon, allowing the user to manually guide the rockets to a designated target. When aiming with this weapon, instead of using sights, the player's view will zoom in slightly.
Extinction
The MAAWS appears as a Strike Package in the Extinction maps Mayday and Awakening, replacing the Trinity Rocket from the other maps.

The MAAWS returns in Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare. It is laser-guided, but now it can be aimed using a telescopic sight (unlike its counterpart in Ghosts).
Trivia
Call of Duty: Ghosts
- The number "64" is inscribed in various spots.
