The Navy recently completed its first operational flight tests of the Block V Tomahawk missile, the weapon’s latest variant, from the guided-missile destroyer USS Chafee (DDG-90) off the coast of California.
The objective of the testing was to support initial fleet release of the Block V Tomahawk’s Navigation/Communications upgrade, as well as upgrades to the Theater Mission Planning Center system and the Tactical Tomahawk Weapons Control System.
“This is the culmination of years of planning and effort,” said the Tomahawk Weapons System Program Manager Capt. John Red. “We’re working every day to modernize the Tomahawk missile, and to deliver the best warfighting capability to the fleet.”
