Images of Colonel Muammar el-Gaddafi and America's Raytheon-built $1.1 million dollar Tomahawk. About $250 million dollars worth were launched in the first several days. The Tomahawk is a submerged submarine-lauched, long-range 1,350 mile (2,500 kilometer), all weather, subsonic (500 mph-880 kmh) cruise missile. Originally introduced by General Dynamics in the 1970s and most recently improved and built by Raytheon. It is a medium to long range, low altitude missile, single turbo jet fan powered. Each missile is stored and launched from a pressurized canister which also serves as its launch tube. The Tomahawk is lauched from a submerged submarine (both UK and USA) and is ejected vertically by gas pressure or horizontally via torpedo tubes through water impluse. Once the missile exists the surface of the water a solid-fuel booster is ignited for several seconds of airborne flight and a small jet-fan engine propells its during its cruise fight. Once airborne the Tomahawk's wings unfold, and an air intake scoop is lowered for its jet-fan engine. During its cruise the Tomahawk uses intertial guidance and/or GPS to follow a preset course over water to its target. Over land the Tomahawk several guidance applications are used such as Terrain Contour Matching (TERCOM) and Digital Scene Matching Area Correlation (DSMAC). The Tomahawk has a reported accuracy of about 30 feet or 10 meters. David "Doc" Myhra (davidmyhra@gmail.com)
