NAV/COMMS
Abstract
TACTOM missile Navigation and Communications (NAV/COMMS) capability consists of a government furnished TACTOM radio, a government furnished crypto unit, and NAV/COMM specific test equipment. This capability enables the Tomahawk Weapon System (TWS) to utilize an Advanced Communications Architecture (ACA) network for secure tactical communications. The Tomahawk Weapons System (TWS) provides a deep strike land attack capability (Tomahawk Land Attack Missile (TLAM)) and can be launched from both surface ships (RGM) and submarines (UGM) via the Tactical Tomahawk Weapons Control System (TTWCS). The ACA Phase II will provide additional capability. Details available at a higher classification. The TACTOM Block V Integrated Single Box Solution (ISBS) radio redesign provides improved Communication (Comms) through the use of an improved software that will expand the platform's capabilities and avoids component obsolescence. The ISBS radio is utilized to send in-flight retargeting commands, employ "loiter" tactic, and transmit health and status.
