Operating principle
The Tomahawk Land Attack Missile (TLAM) has been the US flagship long-range cruise missile since 1983: a 6.25 m missile with folding wings and unfoldable tail fins, powered by a Williams F107-WR-402 turbofan in cruise (after a Mark-114 booster rocket at launch). Cruise speed Mach 0.74, cruise altitude 30–100 m above sea/land, range 1,600+ km, payload 450 kg conventional (the W80 warhead on nuclear variants has long since been removed). It is launched from Mark-41 or Mark-87 VLS cells on surface combatants, from horizontal tubes on Virginia/Los Angeles-class SSNs, and since 2024 from Typhon ground batteries.
