Networking enables Tomahawk to hit moving target

Networking enables Tomahawk to hit moving target: Two flight tests by the Navy and Raytheon in January saw a Tomahawk use targeting data supplied by various platforms to hit a moving ship target (MST). "In the first test, a Tomahawk Block IV cruise missile fired from the destroyer USS Kidd flew a pre-planned mission until a surveillance aircraft sent real-time target information to the Joint Network Enabled Weapons Mission Management Capability (JNEW-MMC) located at Naval Air Warfare Center – Weapons Division (NAWC-WD), China Lake," said a Raytheon news release. "The JNEW-MMC provided updated data to the missile in flight before it successfully struck the MST."
