The Ground Launched Cruise Missile (GLCM), or BGM-109G Gryphon,  was a ground-launched cruise missile developed by the United States in the last decade of the Cold War. The BGM-109G was designed as a counter to the mobile medium and intermediate range ballistic nuclear missiles deployed by the Soviet Union in Eastern Bloc European countries.

GM-109G missiles were based at six locations throughout Europe; in the United Kingdom at RAF Greenham Common and RAF Molesworth, Florennes AB, Belgium, Woensdrecht AB, Netherlands, Wueschheim AB, Germany, and Comiso AB in Italy.
