BGM-109 Tomahawk

| Sunday, May 22, 2011 | 0 comments


The Tomahawk is an all-weather submarine or ship-launched land-attack cruise missile. First introduced in 1970 by General Dynamics, this missile (missiles) are designed for medium and long distances, capable of flying low and can also be launched from land and underwater. After launch, a solid propellant propels the missile until a small turbofan engine takes over for the cruise portion of flight. Tomahawk is a highly survivable weapon. Radar detection is difficult because of the missile's small cross-section, low altitude flight. Similarly, infrared detection is difficult because the turbofan engine emits little heat. Systems include Global Positioning System (GPS) receiver; an upgrade of the optical Digital Scene Matching Area Correlation (DSMAC) system; Time of Arrival (TOA) control, and improved 402 turbo engines.
