 BGM-109 Tomahawk - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Tomahawk Land Attack Missile (TLAM) is a long-range, all-weather, subsonic cruise missile with stubby wings.
Therefore it would appear that Tomahawk is a candidate to be fitted to the Type 45 if the decision is made to fit her with cruise missiles.
Additionally the Tactical Tomahawk is able to be reprogrammed in-flight to attack one of 16 predesignated targets with GPS coordinates stored in its memory or to any other GPS coordinates.

 TE-416 Tomahawk - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The TE-416 Tomahawk rocket should not be confused with the BGM-109 Tomahawk cruise missile.
The diameter of the TE-416 tomahawk is 23 centimeters and the fin span is 93 centimeters.
Although the TE-416 Tomahawk can be launched alone, she was started predominantly as upper stage in connection with other rockets, for example with a Nike rocket as first stage (Nike Tomahawk).

 Comments
The BGM-109 Tomahawk missile was developed to give naval vessels a long range land attack capability.
The mainstay of the Tomahawk equipped vessels in the early days of the missile's deployment were the Iowa class battleships, and the submarine fleet.
The Tomahawk was first used in combat on 17 January 1991, on the opening night of Operation Desert Storm.

 TOMAHAWK CRUISE MISSILE
Tomahawk is designed to fly through a one meter square window on earth at a predesignated time.
Tomahawk uses a combination of GPS (Global Positioning Satellite), TERCOM or a special terrain way-point radar map and two types of terminal guidance systems to place the warhead with pinpoint accuracy, DSMAC and an Infra-red mapper.
The Tomahawk will most likely be armed with the newest U.S. warheads the EMG Explosive Magnetocumulative Generator or the HPM or High Power Microwave warhead.

 Tomahawk BGM-109 cruise missile - history of development and technical specifications
During Desert Storm, 264 BGM-109Cs (unitary war head) and 27 BGM-109Ds (cluster bombs) were launched from the battle ships Missouri and Wisconsin, several cruisers and destroyers, and at least two submarines, mostly in the early days of the war.
The Tomahawk is a long-range cruise missile for both surface and submarine launch against both surface-ship and land targets.
Initially known as the Sea-Launched Cruise Missile (SLCM), the Tomahawk's principal roles are antiship (TASM), land attack with a conventional warhead (TLAM-C), and land attack with a nuclear warhead (TLAM-N).

 ANALYSIS - TOMAHAWKS, SUBMARINES AND THE F-111
It follows therefore that the idea of replacing the F-111 force with submarine launched Tomahawk cruise missiles is of dubious merit from a strategic and technical perspective, and substantially more expensive than extending the life of the existing F-111C/G force by zero timing and re-engining the airframes, and providing tanker support to extend combat radius.
More recently, a noted Australian defence journal ran a short discussion piece on the subject, concluding that "...the Tomahawk is the logical successor to the F-111s...", and suggesting that an additional two Collins class subs be built, presumably to provide enough hulls for the submarine force to absorb this role.

The Tomahawk Block IV cruise missile is the newest member of the legacy Tomahawk family of cruise missiles, the U.S. Navy’s "weapon of choice" for critical, long-range precision strikes against high-value, heavily defended targets.
Block IV upgrades include a two-way satellite data link that allows the strike controller to flex the missile in flight to alternate targets or loiter over the battlefield awaiting an assignment to a time critical target.

BGM-109 "TOMAHAWK" equipped with EMG warheads would be aimed at enemy electronics
The U.S. version, an EMG warhead equipped Tomahawk cruise missile, was considered by the Clinton administration for "non-lethal" strikes against Serbian radar and command posts.
In military form, the EMG is a conventional warhead that produces a magnetic pulsed field equal to a small nuclear bomb.

 Preliminary Study of the Threat of Precision Strike Conventional Weapons to Nuclear Weapons
Originally there were three versions of the ship- and submarine-launched cruise missile: BGM-109A, a nuclear warhead missile; BGM-109B, a conventional HE warhead anti-ship missile; and BGM-109C, a conventional HE warhead land attack missile (LAM).
The Tomahawk Block IV was also planed to use penetrating warheads against the reinforced concrete targets, such as the silo covers of ICBMs.
To be specific, we take the US Tomahawk cruise missile as an example to illustrate the improvement of accuracy, and take earth penetrating warheads (EPWs) as an example to illustrate the advance of versatility.

 TOMAHAWK  CRUISE MISSILE
After a fly-off the BGM109 Tomahawk was chosen in 1977 for full-scale engineering development.
A conventional land-attack version, the BGM-109C, was also developed for the US Navy, whilst two air-launched versions of a slightly modified and updated Tomahawk II model are under development for use against ship and other targets.
For the SLCM programme two competitive designs were funded, the General Dynamics ZBGM-109 and the LTV ZBGM-110, both suitable for torpedo tube launching.

 Ticonderoga class cruiser - One Language
The two VLS systems allow the ship to have 127 launch tubes that can carry a wide variety of missiles, including the Tomahawk cruise missile, the Standard surface-to-air missile, and the ASROC anti-submarine missile.
In addition to the added radar capability, the Ticonderoga class built after USS Thomas S. Gates are outfitted with two Vertical Launch Systems, or VLS.
However, more importantly, the VLS system enables all missiles to be fully standing by at any given time, shortening the ship's reaction time.

The BGM-109E was a proposed improvement of the BGM-109B anti-ship missile, and the BGM-109F was to be a TLAM variant with an anti-airfield warhead (possibly using BLU-106/B submunitions).
The Tomahawk versions currently in the U.S. Navy operational inventory are the RGM/UGM-109C/D TLAM-C/D, and the RGM/UGM-109E Block IV.

 ROBOTECH: RDF Surface-Surface Missiles - Tomahawk
The Tomahawk was used in all VLS-equipped surface ships (in the BGM- 109 versions) and in the submarine forces (the UGM-109 versions).
The surface-to-surface missiles used by the early RDF Navy were based on the venerable Tomahawk design used by the US Navy from the 1980s onwards.
The early RDF Navy then had this version modified with Reflex electronics for better penetration (the 109-R missile) and ordered two more versions; one with a cluster warhead and the other a nuclear tipped missile.

 Boeing AGM-86 ALCM
At that time the Navy had just declared the BGM-109 Tomahawk as winner of its SLCM (Sea-Launched Cruise Missile) competition.
One consequence of JCMP was that only one cruise missile propulsion system (the Williams F107 turbofan of the AGM-86) and TERCOM guidance system (the McDonnell-Douglas AN/DPW-23 of the BGM-109) would be further developed.
Another one was the cancellation of the short-range AGM-86A, together with a directive to select a long-range ALCM from a competition between the ERV ALCM (now designated AGM-86B) and an AGM-109 air-launched version of Tomahawk.
