In a significant production milestone, Raytheon delivered the 2,000th Tomahawk Block IV cruise missile to the U.S. Navy.
Tomahawk Block IV's technologies provide a tactical capability while reducing
acquisition, operation and support costs. Tomahawk Block IV employs a two-way
satellite datalink that enables a strike controller to flex the missile in
flight to preprogrammed alternate targets or redirect it to a new target. This
targeting flexibility includes the capability to loiter over the battlefield
and await a more critical target.
