레이시온이 토마호크 154발 조달 계약을 2억 1천 7백만 달러에 체결했습니다. 미해병대에 54발, 해군에 70발, 육군에 30발이 공급될 예정입니다. (발당 141만 달러가 안 되네요.)

모두 블록V 사양으로 NAV/COMMS를 장착해 비행중 업데이트와 개량된 항법기능을 갖추고 있고, 향후 해상타격용 토마호크(MST; Maritime Strike Tomahawk)와 합동 다중효과탄두시스템(JMEWS; Joint Multiple Effects Warhead System)이 블록V에 적용될 예정입니다. 

미해군은 향후 토마호크 블록III를 퇴역시키고 블록IV를 업데이트해 모든 토마호크를 블록V로 개량할 예정입니다.

The Navy on Tuesday issued Raytheon a $217 million contract to build 154 Tomahawk missiles for the Navy, Army and Marine Corps, the Defense Department announced.

The contract is to buy a total of 154 Block V Tomahawk missile systems, with 54 systems going to the Marine Corps, 70 to the Navy and 30 to the Army, according to the May 24 Defense of Department contract awards.

Much of the money comes from the Navy’s weapons procurement account and the Marine Corps ammunition account, but some will also come from Army and Navy research and development accounts.

Naval Air Systems Command in a news release said the contract “marks the first multi-service procurement for Tomahawk, which further expands integration into new firing platforms for the Marine Corps and Army.”

According to NAVAIR, the Marine Corps’ Tomahawk will be ground-based and that the service is currently working on a launcher for the missile system.

The missiles “will be in the Block V configuration which features a NAV/COMMS upgrade that maintains the capability for in-flight updates and improved navigation. Future Block V capabilities will include the Maritime Strike Tomahawk (MST) variant and the Joint Multiple Effects Warhead System (JMEWS),” NAVAIR said in the news release.

The Navy plans to upgrade its entire Tomahawk arsenal to the Block V configuration, USNI News reported last year. Those plans include retiring the Block III Tomahawks and upgrading the Block IV Tomahawks, the Navy’s program manager for Tomahawk weapons systems told reporters last year. The upgrades to the Block V configuration will extend the range of the missiles.

At the end of 2020, the Navy finished testing the new Block V configuration after launching two of the updated Tomahawks from Arleigh Burke-class destroyer USS Chafee (DDG-90), NAVAIR said at the time.

The 70 Tomahawks in the contract issued this week are for missiles the Navy is purchasing with Fiscal Year 2022 funding. The service is seeking to buy 23 Tomahawk missile systems in FY 2023, zero in FY 2024, 26 in FY 2025, 58 in FY 2026 and 58 in FY 2027, according to the Pentagon’s most recent five-year spending plan.

154발이면 Ohio SSGN 1척을 채우는 숫자네요.

그렇네요. SSGN 1척 미사일 값만 1번 채우는 데 2천 억이 넘게 드네요..

동일 로트넘버 한 번에 왕창 사면, 나중에 사고 터지면 수습할 방법도 없습니다. 어느 나라 SM-2 싸게 사겠다고 동일 로트넘버 상업구매로 사왔다가... 읍읍. 하여간 전체 인벤토리를 20년, 30년 간 채우고 버린다는 일종의 장기 계획이 필요하겠죠. 토마호크 Block III도 필요할 때마다 쏴서, 도태시킬 양을 최소화하겠죠.
