	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.
		Tomahawks are difficult to intercept, due to their small size, small radar cross-section and low-altitude flight.
		Each missile is stored and launched from a pressurized canister that protects it during transportation and storage and acts as a launch tube.

		Tomahawks are difficult to intercept, due to their small size and radar cross-section and low-altitude flight.
		The missile is launched and steered for the first few seconds of flight by a solid fuel booster with steering vanes in its exhaust.
		The first missiles were acquired in 1998, with the first RN Tomahawk test also occurring that year.

	Cruise missile - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		A cruise missile is a guided missile which uses a lifting wing and most often a jet propulsion system to allow sustained flight.
		Introduced in 1944, the V-1 was the first weapon to use the classic cruise missile layout of a bomb-like fuselage with short wings and a dorsally mounted engine, along with a simple inertial guidance system.
		While ballistic missiles were the weapons of choice for land targets, heavy nuclear and conventional tipped cruise missiles were seen by the USSR as a primary weapon to destroy US carrier battle groups.

	Tomahawk Missile (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		Tomahawk cruise missile is a winged, high subsonic speed surface-to-surface missile launched from surface ships or submarines against targets up to 700 miles away.
		Aboard ship, Tomahawk is launched from a vertical launcher, while submarines launch Tomahawk from vertical tubes or from standard torpedo tubes.
		The missile's first combat use was in January 1991 in an attack against Iraq during Operation Desert Storm, providing a dramatic demonstration of its capabilities.

		Even though the Tomahawk missile predates the crashing of the SDF-1 and the introduction of Robotechnology, the missile was found to be very useful and serves the RDF in both anti-ship and ground strikes.
		The missile has been updated and the guidance has been replaced by an advanced copied from reflex missiles and has +5 to strike and +3 to dodge.
		The missile is a surface skimming which keeps the missile concealed by the horizon and the missile retains the same propulsion as the original missile.

		The missile moves at about 550 miles per hour, and can make twists and turns like a radar-evading fighter plane all the while skimming over the land at 100 feet to 300 feet.
		The Tomahawk and the Tomahawk Antiship Missile (TASM) are fitted on Iowa-class battleships; cruisers of the Virginia, Long Beach, and Ticonderoga classes; and destroyers of the Arleigh Burke and Spruance classes.
		In the war, Tomahawks were used to destroy surface-to-air missile sites, command and control centers, electrical power facilities and were credited with the destruction of Iraq's presidential palace.

	BGM-109 Tomahawk - Smart Weapons
		The Tomahawk is an all-weather submarine or ship-launched land-attack cruise missile.
		During the critical early days of a regional conflict, Tomahawk, in conjunction with other land attack systems and tactical aircraft, denies or delays forward movement of enemy forces, neutralize the enemy's ability to conduct air operations, and suppress enemy air defenses.
		On all attack submarines, missiles are launched from torpedo tubes (with stowage in the torpedo room); in addition, some attack submarines have VLS located forward, external to the pressure hull, which will handle both stowage and launch.

	The Tomahawk cruise missile
		Radar detection of a flying Tomahawk, whose range could exceed 1 600km is difficult because of the missile's small radar cross-section and low altitude flight.
		Tomahawk missiles, which were first introduced into the Pentagon arsenal in 1986, have played a crucial role in several theatre operations including Afghanistan, Operation Desert Storm against Iraq, Bosnia and Yugoslavia.
		In September 1995, 13 Tomahawks were fired from the USS Normandy cruiser against Serbian anti-aircraft batteries in Bosnia's Banja Luka region.

	Tomahawk
		After the missile has cleared the launcher, the four tailfins are extended, followed by the deployment of the two straight wings.
		The missile is launched in the general direction of the target and at some distance from the expected target position, it enters a serpentine flight pattern to search for it using both passive radar to scan enemy emissions and active radar to lock on a detected target.
		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).

	BGM-109 Tomahawk - Smart Weapons
		The Tomahawk is a mature missile weapons system with Block II and III, C (unitary warhead) and D (bomblet dispersion) versions in fleet use.
		The missile is delivered to ships and submarines as an all-up-round (AUR), which includes the missile that flies the mission, the booster that starts its flight, and the container (canister for ships and capsule for submarines) that protects it during transportation, storage and stowage, and acts as a launch tube.
		Tomahawk was used extensively during Desert Storm in 1991, in Iraq in January and June 1993, in Bosnia (Deliberate Force) in 1995 and in Iraq (Desert Strike) in 1996.

	STSC CrossTalk - Tomahawk Cruise Missile Control: Providing the Right Tools to the Warfighter - Sep 2004
		A few miles away, the seascape is altered by another cruise missile emerging from the depths, sent on its way from a stealthy nuclear-powered submarine lurking beneath the waves.
		Smart weapons in general and cruise missiles in particular are often the first surgical instruments of military power projection, focusing destruction only where intended while limiting the danger to our warfighters.
		The new TTWCS program took on the task of providing the next-generation cruise missile weapon control system to handle the newest technological improvements to the Tomahawk missile, while keeping the system user-friendly enough to be maintained by young shipboard operators not far removed from high school graduation.

		Munsinger noted the warhead on the new missile is the same as designed at NAVAIR China Lake in the 1990s for the Block III Tomahawk, but mated to a new, lightweight airframe for increased range.
		Still another aspect of using sled tests rather than firing a missile from submarines or surface ships in some of the live fire tests is the ability to use less expensive, hardware that has not been flight qualified.
