They update these over the years . And we made a shit load of them .
And they stepped up production on the new ones .

30 years ago Tomahawk was cutting edge. 50 years ago it was something only nations could do.

Today it's something a couple Western engineers could build in a garage. It's a miracle the things still cost that much, you'd think DOD would use a modern:past effective price derivative for better PR.

likely had some kind of self destruct failsafe built in where if it senses it is going off course it detonates itself. probably nothing to recover.

Much of the electronics would be potted, so it's difficult to recover the hardware without destroying it.

Good luck reading the 0s and 1s software and converting it to readable code

They will email a prepaid UPS label. Just box it up, slap the label and bam. Done. $9.99 will be debited from the refund amount though.

They'll attempt to recover it. Raytheon will want to do some testing as to why it failed. I helped ship back a TLAM that dropped short of its target right after Iraq was invaded.

It was reported that two failed, one fell into the ocean and one missed its target. Reported costs were $1.3-1.4 million per. I for one would like to see the tax payers compensated for the one that dropped into the drink, and if they can prove the second one was programmed properly why not look for compensation for that one as well.

If the missiles aren't in warranty, then they aren't in warranty.

The government is at least equally responsible for the implementation of the equipment it buys, maintains, and employs. The missile progam is signed off as meeting all of the contractual requirements, and every individual missile goes through an acceptance process before the government signs off, at which point it belongs to the government and the government is responsible for the weapon.

Without an exam of the missile, any cause of the crash is speculation. Sometimes machines just fail through no one's fault.

If the lost missile was going anywhere near the 500 mph speed listed for the weapon, I doubt there is a lot to recover, regardless whether it went down on the the water or land.

Sounds like something Chuck Schumer would say - while standing in front of a TV camera, naturally.

A 3 percent failure rate on something as complicated and exotic as a cruise missile is nothing short of amazing.
