Storm Shadow is an air-launched, conventionally-armed, long-range, stand-off, precision weapon, which is deployable at night or day, in most weather and operational conditions. It has been developed to attack and desroy a wide variety of static, high value ‘hardened’ targets such as Command and Control facilities, airfield facilities and brigades.
Storm Shadow made its operational debut during Operation TELIC, the liberation of Iraq, with No 617 Squadron in March 2003. The Storm Shadow missile embodies the following key features: very long range, fire and forget, with fully autonomous guidance, low level terrain following, stealthy profile and penetrator warhead.

The MGM-52 Lance was developed to replace the Honest John and Sergeant missiles, the first testing beginning in 1965. Lance entered service in the USA in 1972, and production ended in 1980. There were two versions in service in 1990, the MGM-52B and MGM-52C. It is clear that there will be no direct nuclear warhead Lance successor, as the AGM-131 SRAM-T programme was terminated in 1991, and the role has now been taken over by the conventional HE warhead MGM-140 ATACMS.
