Deliveries under the contract are scheduled to be completed by the end of 2028. The missiles will be delivered to the U.S. Navy, the U.S. Marine Corps and the U.S. Army, as well as to two undisclosed foreign customers purchasing the weapons through the Foreign Military Sales process, which accounts for $500 million of the contract value.
So far, Tomahawk missiles ordered via the FMS procedure have been purchased by Australia, the Netherlands, Japan and the United Kingdom. Test launches were conducted from the Australian destroyer HMAS Brisbane in December 2024 and from the Dutch frigate HNLMS De Ruyter in March 2025, while preparations are ongoing for the first launch from the Japanese destroyer JS Chokai, which is undergoing modifications in San Diego.
According to the information released, RTX is gradually expanding its Tomahawk production capacity in response to operational requirements. The missile system, previously operated only by the US Navy and the Royal Navy, has also been integrated with mobile land-based launchers for the US Army and Marine Corps, and eased US export criteria have increased interest among allies, with Canada and Norway cited as potential future customers.
