Missile loading technologies (H4)

In Halo 4, following the events on the level Composer, we catch a glimpse of a missile being loaded onto a space fighter. The craft is piloted by our heroes, Chief and Cortana. Most curious, the missile is loaded without mechanical arms or visible machines. Rather, a gravity beam of some sort utilizes a preternatural force (as it appears so).

  1. Is it merely a combination of thrusters on the missile itself guiding the missile into its port on the space fighter?
  2. If this technology is as exceptional as it appears, has the UNSC experienced a vast development (possibly from alien backwards engineering) at the point in time of H4’s events?
  3. Any relevant thoughts, points, or arguments please?

Thank you for your submissions

  1. Can’t really answer that as I don’t recall the cutsene very well.
  2. It could be a form of the antigravity that all UNSC ships have since after the war started. How they came about the tech is unknown it could have been reversed engineered or they some how managed to figure out how to manipulate gravitons as I do believe some ships had gravity without spinning sections pre war.
  3. It is definitely a form of anti gravity most likely cause by projectors in the floor of the hangar and the fighter missile rack. It would probably be simmilar to how longswords/shortswords load missiles and bombs.

I vote number 2. Reverse engineered (or Engineer made?) anti-grav tech from the Covies or Forerunners; we see a blue glow like with Covie anti-grav.

Since the end of the war humanity has used its reversed engineered technology to boost its standing. The havoc was loaded by an anti grav system.

Could have been a magnetic levitation beam of some kind, considering the hanger was in zero-g (I think anyway)
