Enhanced Tomahawk cruise missile engages moving targets

[ni8mare]

We have 2 CMs... Babar (also a sub launched variant under development with increased range) and Raad ALCM ..(Both are different) Apparently Chinese dont have similar CMs to them? why/... oh why?

poor chinese, a industrial giant beaten by pakistani engineering

Okay..

poor indians.......

 

[DESERT FIGHTER]

poor chinese, a industrial giant beaten by pakistani engineering

So Chinese engineered advanced CMs for Pak .. but didnt induct em themselves?

FUK LOGIC.

poor indians.......

poor indian.. they boast about everything but... deliver nothing.. LCA,arjun mbt,HAL trainer a few examples...

yeah FUK logic that: a industrial giant beaten by pakistani engineering

poor indian.. they boast about everything but... deliver nothing.. LCA,arjun mbt,HAL trainer a few examples...

we poor indian cannot make any thing ...................

yeah FUK logic that: a industrial giant beaten by pakistani engineering


we poor indian cannot make any thing ...................

damn guy... you need to relax...

 

[My-Analogous]

lolol......who said that babur cannot be configured for anti ship role .......it will need an active seeker but pak cannot made one may be that what they said

heck even nirbhay will get active x band seeker, which will make it attack day/night and at moving target like tomahawk IV

How do you know Pakistan can't and India can do that?

 

[ni8mare]

damn guy... you need to relax...

i am quit relax..............don't know about you

 

[My-Analogous]

yeah FUK logic that: a industrial giant beaten by Pakistani engineering


we poor indian cannot make any thing ...................

An idea that can change your life. Please next time write Pakistan with P capital as we respect your country with I capital.

 

[ni8mare]

How do you know Pakistan can't and India can do that?

we already do it with brahmos...........about pakistan you tell me .........its been long 10 years

An idea that can change your life. Please next time write Pakistan with P capital as we respect your country with I capital.

you can see i have written both india and pakistan in smalls ......so no interest in gyan

 

[My-Analogous]

you can see i have written both india and pakistan in smalls ......so no interest in gyan

Indian never change and come up with lame excuses

 

[DESERT FIGHTER]

How do you know Pakistan can't and India can do that?

hes a troll... dnt take him serious..

 

[ni8mare]

Indian never change and come up with lame excuses

bengalis don'ts change jit vi marlo..........

hes a troll... dnt take him serious..

and you are a saint .......aaj bahut mood mein ho lagta hai

 

[My-Analogous]

bengalis don'ts change jit vi marlo..........


and you are a saint .......aaj bahut mood mein ho lagta hai

No he is a tool to fix you

Enhanced Tomahawk cruise missile engages moving targets
Enhanced Tomahawk cruise missile engages moving targets | Defense Update:

View attachment 191411

The Tomahawk cruise missile is the U.S. Navy’s precision strike standoff weapon for long and medium range attack of tactical targets. The new targeting capability enabling the user to communicate and update the missile's target set in flight extends the weapon's reach beyond fixed and re-locatable points, to moving targets

The US Navy has tested a ‘synthetically guided’ Tomahawk Block IV cruise missile last month, demonstrating the capability of existing Tomahawkmissiles as netted weapons. The latest variant of the Tomahawk includes a two-way satellite data-link that enables the missile to be retargeted in flight to any one of 15 alternate targets pre-programmed in its memory before launch. “This capability extends the Tomahawk’s reach beyond fixed and re-locatable points, to moving targets.” Tomahawk Weapons System (PMA-280) program manager Capt. Joe Mauser explained.

Raytheon, the missile’s developer is also developing a new seeker designed to hit moving targets at sea or on land, in darkness and under all weather conditions. Other enhancements planned for the Tomahawk Block IVweapon include the integration of upgraded communications and a more powerful multi-effects warhead. Other enhancements implemented in the Block IV include a ‘sea-skim’ mode – low-altitude flight over water at high subsonic speeds. The Block IV missile is capable of loitering over a target area in order to respond to emerging targets or, with its on-board camera, provide battle damage information to warfighting commanders. “We are modernizing Tomahawk to stay ahead of the threat,” said Jeff Meyer, a Tomahawk business development manager at Raytheon. “The tests are designed to prove Tomahawk can hit a moving target and targets at sea, and that the missile isn’t affected by smoke or other obscurants such as bad weather.”

The Naval Air Warfare Center Weapons Division (NAWCWD) team leveraged existing Tomahawk strike communications frameworks to develop this cost-saving solution. “This is a significant accomplishment,” Capt. Mauser continued. “It demonstrates the viability of long-range communications for position updates of moving targets. The synthetically guided Tomahawk successfully hit its first moving maritime target Jan. 27 after being launched from the USS Kidd (DDG-100) near San Nicolas Island in California. The flight test demonstrated guidance capability when the missile in flight altered its course toward the moving target after receiving position updates from surveillance aircraft.

The Tomahawk weapons system is the U.S. Navy’s precision strike standoff weapon for long and medium range attack of tactical targets. The Navy is currently fielding Tomahawk Block IV weapons on surface and subsurface platforms across the globe. In 2013, Raytheon delivered the 3,000th Tomahawk Block IV missile to the U.S. Navy.

Raytheon has produced thousands of GPS guided BGM-109 Tomahawk missiles. Over 2,000 were used in combat. The Block IV design was initiated as both a cost savings and a capability improvement effort. The new enhancements are considered as part of ‘mid life modernization’ package Raytheon is hoping to launch in 2018-2019, enabling the Navy to maintain its cruise missiles ahead of the threat well into the 2020s.

Beautiful.
