M95 Guided Missile Weapon System - Weapon

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

The M95 Guided Missile Weapon System^[1] is a surface-to-air missile battery used by the UNSC.

Design details

Each battery can hold up to six missiles. The battery uses an 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.^[1]

Operational history

In August 2552, during the Siege of New Alexandria, two M95 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. ^[2]
