The U.S. Army is planning to “land-fire†several ship-launched Navy weapons as part of a clear effort to improve joint attack possibilities, strengthen multi-domain operations and discover innovative ways to track and destroy enemies from land.
By 2023, the Army will land-fire variants of the Navy’s Tomahawk cruise missile and SM-6 interceptor missile, bringing new technical elements to ground attack and introducing additional abilities for Army commanders to destroy moving targets at great distances from land.
