Tomahawk (missile) (n.) 戰斧巡弋飛彈（Tomahawk cruise missile，制式型號BGM-109）是一種長程、全天候、具有短翼、以次音速巡弋飛行的飛彈。1972年由通用動力公司開始研發，1983年推出服役。戰斧巡弋飛彈設計上是一種中到遠距離，低空飛行，並且以模組化設計，能夠自陸地，船艦，空中與水面下發射。雷神與麥道都獲得過生產合約共同生產。
美國海軍（USN）向雷神公司 (Raytheon) 提出最後一份戰斧巡弋飛彈(Tomahawk cruise missile)的訂單，宣告在完成這份合約後，戰斧飛彈將結束延續40年的生產歷史。 由詹氏防衛網(Jane’s Defense )報導，這份合約是在4月27日簽定的，採購100枚戰斧飛彈改良第4型(Block IV)，總價1.43億美元。這批飛彈具備全方位垂直發射能力，可安裝在勃克級神盾驅逐艦上，主要任務是遠程對陸地攻擊之用。預計全部生產將會在2020年8月完成。[1]
The Tomahawk Land Attack Missile (TLAM) is a long-range, all-weather, subsonic cruise missile that is primarily used by the United States Navy and Royal Navy in ship and submarine-based land-attack operations. Introduced by General Dynamics in the 1970s, it was initially designed as a medium- to long-range, low-altitude missile that could be launched from a surface platform. Since then, it has been upgraded several times with guidance systems for precision navigation. In 1992–1994, McDonnell Douglas Corporation was the sole supplier of Tomahawk Missiles and produced Block II and Block III Tomahawk missiles and remanufactured many Tomahawks to Block III specifications. [5] In 1994, Hughes outbid McDonnell Douglas Aerospace to become the sole supplier of Tomahawk missiles. It is now manufactured by Raytheon. [6] In 2016, the U.S. Department of Defense purchased 149 Tomahawk Block IV missiles for $202.3 million. [1]
The missile is named after the tomahawk.
