M95 Lance

Were you looking for the M97 Lance, the larger, exoatmospheric missile battery?

The M95 Lance Guided Missile Weapon System is a surface-to-air missile battery used by the UNSC.

Design details
Each battery can hold up to six missiles. The battery uses a universal weapons emplacement base similar to the one used by the M71 Anti-Aircraft Gun. The M95 GMWS is a smaller counterpart to the M97 Lance, a missile battery designed for both atmospheric and space engagements.

Operational history
In August 2552, during the Siege of New Alexandria, two M95 Lance missile batteries were used by SPARTAN-B312 to cripple a Covenant SDV-class heavy corvette holding station over the city, thus allowing three civilian transports to escape the city. In October 2559 M95 Lance batteries were used by the Viery Militia during Operation: WOLFE.

Trivia
This weapon emplacement was originally referred to as the "M950 Lance" on Halo Waypoint.
