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.

Raytheon's Joint Standoff Weapon C-1 completed a major milestone when the weapon's Strike Common Weapon Datalink (SCWDL) communicated via Link-16 nodes with a Joint Surveillance and Target Attack Radar System aircraft. The test demonstrated the weapon's ability to function as a node on the network and moved the system one step closer to engaging moving maritime targets.
JSOW is a family of low-cost, air-to-ground weapons that employs an integrated GPS-inertial navigation system and terminal infrared seeker, which guides the JSOW to the target. JSOW C-1 features the two-way Rockwell Collins SCWDL, which gives the combat-proven weapon a moving maritime target capability.
