RCCTO targets CAML prototypes in 18 months to deliver truck-mounted Tomahawk and autonomous resupply capability
Army planners want a launcher they can move and hide faster than Typhon, the Mid-Range Capability battery that fires SM-6 and Tomahawk. Lt. Gen. Joel “JB” Vowell calls the current rig “rather large, long” because it must stand upright before launch, slowing setup and tear-down. Lt. Gen. Robert Rasch, who runs the Rapid Capabilities and Critical Technologies Office, says one option shifts the same mission to the new Common Autonomous Multi-Domain Launcher, or CAML.
