MGM-52 Lance

The MGM-52 Lance was a mobile field artillery tactical surface-to-surface missile system used to provide both nuclear and conventional fire support to the United States Army.

he first Lance missiles were deployed in 1972, replacing the less reliable Sergeant SRBM.

A Lance battery (two fire units) consisted of two M752 launchers (one missile each) and two M688 auxiliary vehicles (two missiles each), for a total 6 missiles. The firing rate per unit was approximately three missiles per hour. This rapidity provided the U.S. Army with a very formidable SRBM force.

Watched one of these,along with a Nike-Herc and a HAWK, being fired at the NAMFI facility on Crete in October, 1978. It was one impressive artillery weapon.
