[b]DESCRIPTION[/b]
The [b]LancerM Mk1[/b] is a first-generation ground-based missile launcher introduced in [b]July 1978[/b]. Designed with late–Cold War engineering philosophy, the Mk1 emphasizes mechanical reliability, predictable behavior, and robust terrain-handling capability.
The missile paired with the Mk1 is an early sea-skimming design with proven performance over long distances and complex terrain. Despite its age, the system remains highly effective when deployed correctly.

[b]GUIDANCE TYPES & DESCRIPTIONS[/b]
[b]GNSS[/b]
Uses satellite navigation to guide the missile to precise coordinates on the ground. Provides long-range accuracy by continuously calculating the missile's position in flight.
[b]IOG[/b]
Guides the missile toward the target's last known location. Useful when active tracking is lost, ensuring the missile continues toward the predicted position of the target.
[b]RLOS[/b]
Radar Line-of-Sight guidance. The missile uses an onboard radar to detect and lock onto the target once it comes within range, allowing precise terminal homing.
[b]RCCM[/b]
Radar Counter-Countermeasures. Enables the missile to ignore basic electronic defenses like chaff or angle-based countermeasures, maintaining target lock.
[b]TAD (Top-Attack-Delivery)[/b]
The missile approaches from above to strike the target's top, often exploiting weaker armor or defenses. Can arc over obstacles or terrain to hit from above.
[b]TERCOM[/b]
Terrain Contour Matching. The missile uses **LiDAR sensors** to scan the terrain below and compare it with stored terrain maps, allowing accurate low-altitude flight over complex terrain.
