### Project 4036 — TTWCS TMPC PPPI

The Theater Mission Planning Center (TMPC) consists of Commercial and Government Off-The-Shelf (COTS/GOTS) software and COTS hardware. TMPC is the mission planning segment of the Tomahawk Weapon System (TWS) that provides subsystems for the precision targeting, route planning, mission distribution, and strike management of Tomahawk cruise missile missions from sites located ashore and afloat. TMPC optimizes all aspects of the Tomahawk missile mission to successfully engage a target. TMPC provides mission planning at the theater and operational levels and is designed for high-rate mission planning production responsive to national strategic, operational, and tactical requirements. TMPC develops and distributes missions; provides command information services for all variants of the Tomahawk missile; provides strike planning, execution, coordination, control and reporting, and provides Maritime Component Commanders (MCC) the capability to plan or modify conventional TWS missions. TMPC is employed in major joint combat operations and Overseas Contingency Operations. TMPC is employed in major joint combat operations and Overseas Contingency Operations. TMPC has evolved into four scalable configurations deployed at 181 sites: Cruise Missile Support Activities (CMSAs) (3), Tomahawk Strike Mission Planning Cells (TSMPCs) (3), Carrier Strike Groups (CSGs) (21 Total: 11 CVNs and 10 Shore Sites), and Firing Units (FRUs) (135- 85 Surface / 50 Subsurface). Additionally, TMPC is installed in Labs (6) and Training Classrooms (13) that contain various combinations of the four configurations. TMPC software development activities support new capabilities for the Tomahawk Weapon System, decrease mission planning time, increase the quality and accuracy of each mission, and reduce complexity. The software development activities will also include networking equipment to integrate with the naval data exchange for unified strike planning and execution system to provide all source multi-intelligence data at multiple levels of security to strike mission planners. The TMPC will incorporate cross domain solution capabilities to include data exchange with the Next Generation Mission Planning System. TMPC was previously referred to as Tomahawk Command and Control System (TC2S).

### Project 4034 — Maritime Strike

Maritime Strike Tomahawk (MST) modernization effort provides the capability to hit moving maritime targets through mid-course guidance via a third party or seeker mode, to a terminal seeker engagement. MST was designated an ACAT 1 subprogram in FY 2023. Early Operational Capability (EOC) planned in FY 2026. Program of Record will consist of a Quick Reaction Assessment (QRA) to support EOC fielding with continued EOC and IOC testing in FY 2026. This testing will validate seeker software algorithm updates, commensurate Weapons Control System (WCS) and Theater Mission Planning Center (TMPC) software updates.

### Project 4035 — JMEWS

The Joint Multiple-Effects Warhead System (JMEWS) ACAT III program enables the Tactical Tomahawk to utilize multiple lethal effects to address Hard and Deeply Buried Targets (HDBT) while increasing the Tomahawk Weapon System (TWS) capabilities against Integrated Air Defense Systems (IADS) and Weapons of Mass Destruction (WMD).

### Project 4033 — M-Code

The M-Code (ACAT IVT) Increment I program upgrades the Tactical Tomahawk to the next generation Global Positioning System (GPS) satellite constellation required to maintain GPS-provided position, navigation, and timing (PNT) for the missiles utilizing M-Code capable Anti-Jam GPS Receiver (AGR5) and is planned for Milestone C production decision in FY 2028 and Initial Operating Capability (IOC) in FY 2030. AGR software and hardware development delays resulted in a schedule breach to the TACTOM M-Code APB Milestone C threshold of February 2026. This resulted in realignment of FY 2026 funds for Pre-Production/Proof of Design and Proof of Manufacturing units. The M-Code mandate and Public Law restricts the purchase of only M-Code-capable GPS User Equipment (MGUE) after FY 2017 unless a waiver is granted by the Secretary of Defense.

### Project 4032 — NAV/COMMS

TACTOM missile Navigation and Communications (NAV/COMMs) capability consists of a government furnished TACTOM radio, a government furnished crypto unit, and NAV/COMM specific test equipment. This capability enables the Tomahawk Weapon System (TWS) to utilize an Advanced Communications Architecture (ACA) network for secure tactical communications. The Tomahawk Weapons System (TWS) provides a deep strike land attack capability (Tomahawk Land Attack Missile (TLAM)) and can be launched from both surface ships and submarines via the Tactical Tomahawk Weapons Control System (TTWCS). The ACA Phase II will provide additional capability. Details available at a higher classification. The TACTOM Block V Integrated Single Box Solution (ISBS) radio redesign provides improved Communication (Comms) through the use of an improved software that will expand the platform's capabilities and avoids component obsolescence. The ISBS radio is utilized to send in-flight retargeting commands, employ "loiter" tactic, and transmit health and status.

### Project 0545 — TOMAHAWK

The Tomahawk Weapons System (TWS) provides an all-weather, long-range, deep strike offensive capability against fixed, mobile, and maritime targets, and can be launched from surface ships and ground platforms and submarines via the Tactical Tomahawk Weapons Control System (TTWCS). The Guidance Electronics Unit - Redesign (GEU-R) will improve capability and increase missions supported by increasing the GEU-R's computer power and speed. The redesign will centralize the housing of the electronic cards for navigation, guidance, flight control, pyro & power control, mission control (MC), and secondary power. The GEU-R manages all missile monitoring and control functions (navigation, communications, guidance, speed, attitude, health, component power application timing/activation of discrete events).

## Mission & acquisition strategy

The Theater Mission Planning Center (TMPC) consists of Commercial and Government Off-The-Shelf (COTS/GOTS) software and COTS hardware. TMPC is the mission planning segment of the Tomahawk Weapon System (TWS) that provides subsystems for the precision targeting, route planning, mission distribution, and strike management of Tomahawk cruise missile missions from sites located ashore and afloat. TMPC optimizes all aspects of the Tomahawk missile mission to successfully engage a target. TMPC provides mission planning at the theater and operational levels and is designed for high-rate mission planning production responsive to national strategic, operational, and tactical requirements.

Maritime Strike Tomahawk (MST) will enable surface warfare engagement capability from U.S. Navy Guided Missile Cruiser (CG), Guided Missile Destroyer (DDG), and Nuclear Powered Fast Attack Submarine (SSN) platforms. The MST program includes upgrades to the All-Up Round (AUR) missile, the Tactical Tomahawk Weapons Control System (TTWCS) and also required upgrades to the Theater Mission Planning Center (TMPC) programs (under PU 4036). To facilitate rapid fleet fielding, hardware design was phased to the beginning of the program. Technical Data package for seeker production units completed in 3Q FY 2020 which supported procurement in FY 2021. Seeker software development will continue with initial Engineering Design Models.
