The U.S. Army has received its first Typhon launchers, allowing it to launch Tomahawk cruise missiles from a ground-based installation, Lockheed Martin said.

The company said the Typhon battery includes launchers, a control center and missiles.

Lockheed Martin's investment in advanced engineering processes and digital upgrades has allowed the company to tailor the Aegis command and control functions and the Mark 41 vertical launch system to meet the Army's long-range fire requirements in a timely manner, the company said

They suggested the Typhoon would help the U.S. Army become a more flexible and versatile force.

Lockheed Martin is a U.S. company that researches, designs, develops and integrates technological systems used in security and aerospace industries.
