The Tomahawk missile uses GPS navigation and a satellite data link to continue through a pre set course, and can be reprogrammed in mid flight to a new target. The two-way satellite communications are used to perform post-launch mission changes throughout the flight and the onboard camera provides imagery of the target to the commanders before the strike. It is capable of flying and striking targets 1500 miles away from its launch point, with pinpoint precision. In order to fly such a range, it has two pairs of wings to follow and correct its trajectory. These wings are foldable, and spring open when the missile is launched. The Tomahawk uses a combination of GPS, Terrain Contour Matching, Time of Arrival control and Digital Scene-Matching Area Correlator, to pinpoint their targets with accuracy. The wings, under the control of the computer system, allow the missile to "Loiter," circling undetected around a target, until the controller decides that it’s the good time to strike. With accurate navigation, the Tomahawk can fly low to the ground undetected. As it closes in on its target, the missile drops to an altitude of literally 100 feet, or less, before impact.
