Trivia
- SAM is short for Surface-to-Air Missile, which are a type of missile specially designed to be fired at enemy aircraft.
- Unlike the real-life counterpart, the SEAF SAM Launcher has a limited targeting range, so it will only shoot nearby aircraft (such as Dropships and Gunships).
- Due to the icon's shape, it is colloquially recognized as a Microwave.
- The sub-systems Helldivers activate are respectively: Guidance, Targeting, Warhead, Radar, Propulsion
- During The Great Host's invasion of Pilen V, Widow's Harbor and New Haven, SEAF SAM Sites are not available for use because the Illuminate destroyed them beforehand; their bombed out launch sites can be seen in colonies.
