RGM/UGM-109 Tomahawk Land Attack Missile (TLAM) series
An American-designed series of surface-to-surface cruise missiles primarily produced by Raytheon since 1997 and launched from surface ships and submarines. With a maximum effective range of around 2,500 km depending on the variant, the Tomahawk can be fitted with a number of warhead types, including unitary high explosive (blast) and blast-fragmentation, as well as submunitions. Guidance is provided by GPS and inertial navigation alongside Terrain Contour Matching (TERCOM) and Digital Scene Matching Area Correlation (DSMAC) functions. It has seen use in a variety of conflicts including the 1991 Gulf War, 2003 Iraq War, the Libyan and Syrian Civil Wars, and in recent strikes targeting the Houthis in Yemen.
