The '''M95 | The '''M95 Lance Guided Missile Weapon System'''{{Ref/Book|Id=h4evg|H4EVG|Page=77}} is a [[human]]-made surface-to-air missile battery predominantly employed by the [[United Nations Space Command]].{{Ref/Reuse|Enc22}} | ||

===Design details=== | |||
The M95 Lance is one of the most prominent of the dozens of variants in the Lance SAM launcher series created by [[Misriah Armory]], alongside the larger [[M97 Lance|M97 model]] mounted on [[UNSC starship]]s. The system can be mounted on the same shared emplacement base as the [[M71 Scythe]] rotary cannon, and consists of a rotating mount which holds a launcher containing six 85mm [[ASGM-7 missile|M4510 ASGM-7 surface-to-air missiles]]. The Lance is a fully-automated system and can be linked into the [[UNSC battle network]] to coordinate with other Lances in the region to coordinate fire, overwhelm specific targets and share oversight of a region. When in operation, the M95 is considered to have extraordinary range and accuracy, and is capable of being used to target aircraft and even [[warship]]s well beyond the reach of more conventional anti-air weapons - even capable of conducting over-the-horizon attacks against targets out of visible range.{{Ref/Reuse|Enc22}} | |||
Unlike its M97 Lance sister model which is designed for both atmospheric and [[space warfare]] use, the M95 Lance is a predominantly ground warfare weapon - though it does fire the same munitions.{{Ref/Reuse|h4evg}}{{Ref/Reuse|Enc22}} | |||
