Description
The Tomahawk Block III missile is characterized by adding a GPS guidance capability to the existing TERCOM and INS guidance. The GPS reduces the mission planning timeline and provides an option for GPS only missions. The Block III missile also has a dual warhead, unitary or submunitions dispenser. The Tomahawk Block III was exported to the United Kingdom. Due to absence of VLSs in current nuclear British submarines the Tomahawk missile is launched from the torpedo tubes.
