# Army Demonstrates Tomahawk Capability at China Lake

The Army’s Mid-Range Capability Battery conducted its first live fire of a Tomahawk Land Attack Missile from the Lockheed Martin-built Typhon system on September 28, 2026, at Naval Air Weapons Station China Lake, California. The test demonstrates another operational use for the fielded launcher. The Army is also exploring possible inclusion of Tomahawk capability in a future Common Autonomous program, but no procurement schedule, solicitation, or contract value has been announced.

- The test may inform future Army requirements involving Typhon and Tomahawk integration; contractors can assess whether their capabilities align with this potential direction.
- The Common Autonomous exploration is not a published procurement opportunity. No solicitation timeline or contract funding is specified in the signal.
