An example of the advanced technology employed in the Lance weapon system is its unique AN/GJM-24(XO-2) monitor/programmer, or MP. All the functions necessary to fire the missile are performed by the MP, which measures only 42X51X43 cm. This solid-state, combined analog and digital computer supplies pre-launch power to Lance from a 19-cell, 24v dc (direct current) Ni-Cad (Nickel-Cadmium) battery, it inserts range information into the missile guidance set before launch, controls the missile's safe, arming and firing mechanisms, and monitors the firing sequence.
