TOMAHAWK

Abstract

The Tomahawk Weapons System (TWS) provides an all-weather, long-range, deep strike offensive capability against fixed, mobile and maritime targets, and can be launched from surface ships and ground platforms (RGM) and submarines (UGM) via the Tactical Tomahawk Weapons Control System (TTWCS). The Guidance Electronics Unit - Redesign (GEU-R) will improve capability and increase missions supported by increasing the GEU-R's computer power and speed. The redesign will centralize the housing of the electronic cards for navigation, guidance, flight control, pyro & power control, mission control (MC) and secondary power. The GEU-R manages all missile monitoring and control functions (navigation, communications, guidance, speed, attitude, health, component power application timing/activation of discrete events).
