A land-attack missile (LAM) is a naval surface-to-surface missile that is capable of effectively attacking targets ashore, unlike specialized anti-ship missiles, which are optimized for striking other ships. Some dual-role missiles are suitable for both missions.
Like long-range anti-ship missiles, land-attack missiles are usually turbojet or turbofan powered cruise missiles. To prevent early detection and counter-measures, they usually fly near the ground at very low altitude, employing terrain-following techniques, either with terrain-following radar or with precise navigation system, like GPS, combined with a stored map of obstacles and ground elevation data (TERCOM).
Land-attack missiles are usually programmed before launch to follow a set of way-points up to the target. Terminal guidance can be done with active radar homing, passive radar or electronic warfare support measures, infrared homing or optical guidance, or the (fixed) target was predesignated with as final way-point. Some missiles allow mid-course updates after launch and some may even send information back to the launch platform or other units. In this lecture, prof. Kamuro will explore the technical specifics, capabilities, and operational considerations of land-attack missiles mounted on submarines. These missiles serve as potent weapons, allowing submarines to project power onto land-based targets with precision and effectiveness. Join me as we delve into the intricacies of these weapons and their significant impact on modern naval warfare.
I. Definition and Purpose of Land-Attack Missiles:
A. Definition: Land-attack missiles are specifically designed to engage and neutralize land-based targets, including enemy infrastructure, military installations, command centers, and other critical assets. When mounted on submarines, they provide a covert and strategic means of conducting land-based operations.
B. Purpose: Precision Strikes: Land-attack missiles mounted on submarines enable precise engagement of specific targets while minimizing collateral damage.
Strategic Mobility: Submarines armed with land-attack missiles offer the advantage of strategic mobility, allowing for flexible and covert deployment near target areas.
Deterrence and Force Projection: The presence of submarines armed with land-attack missiles serves as a deterrent, as adversaries are aware of the submarines' capability to launch devastating strikes from undetectable positions.
II. Types of Land-Attack Missiles Mounted on Submarines:
A. Submarine-Launched Cruise Missiles (SLCMs):
Definition: SLCMs are long-range, guided missiles designed for precision strikes against land-based targets. They offer the advantages of extended range, target discrimination capabilities, and the ability to operate at low altitudes.
Examples: Notable SLCMs include the U.S. Tomahawk missile, the Russian Kalibr missile, and the French SCALP Naval missile.
B. Submarine-Launched Ballistic Missiles (SLBMs):
Definition: SLBMs are ballistic missiles designed for long-range strikes and are typically associated with nuclear deterrence. However, some SLBMs can be configured with conventional warheads for land-attack operations.
Examples: Notable SLBMs with land-attack capabilities include the U.S. Trident II D5 missile and the Russian Bulava missile.
III. Key Characteristics and Features of Land-Attack Missiles:
A. Range and Lethality:
Extended Range: Land-attack missiles mounted on submarines possess significant operational ranges, allowing submarines to engage targets deep within enemy territory without putting the platform at undue risk.
Lethality and Precision: These missiles are equipped with advanced guidance systems, such as inertial navigation, GPS, and terrain-aided navigation, ensuring precise target engagement and maximizing lethality.
B. Warhead Capabilities:
Explosive Warheads: Land-attack missiles carry explosive warheads designed to inflict significant damage to land-based targets. These warheads can be tailored for different mission requirements, including high-explosive, penetrating, or submunition payloads.
Scalable Lethality: Some land-attack missiles offer the option of adjustable warhead yields, allowing operators to select an appropriate level of destructive power based on the target's characteristics and desired effect.
C. Guidance and Navigation Systems:
Inertial Navigation System (INS): Land-attack missiles utilize INS, which relies on accelerometers and gyroscopes to measure and calculate the missile's position, velocity, and orientation during flight.
GPS and Terrestrial Navigation: Many modern land-attack missiles incorporate GPS technology to enhance navigation accuracy and ensure precise target engagement. Terrestrial navigation aids, such as digital terrain mapping, can also be utilized for terrain-aided navigation during low-altitude flights.
D. Stealth and Covert Operations:
Stealthy Deployment: Submarines provide a stealthy platform for launching land-attack missiles, as they can approach the launch area undetected and minimize the risk of interception during operations.
Covert Operations: Submarines armed with land-attack missiles offer the advantage of covert operations, allowing for surprise attacks and the ability to adjust engagement plans based on real-time intelligence.
IV. Operational Considerations:
A. Submarine Launch Platforms:
Vertical Launch System (VLS): Many submarines feature VLS, which allows for the vertical launch of land-attack missiles from dedicated missile cells. VLS enhances the submarine's flexibility and capacity for simultaneous multiple launches.
Canisterized Systems: Land-attack missiles can be housed in canisterized systems, which offer ease of storage, maintenance, and rapid reload capabilities.
B. Mission Planning and Targeting:
Intelligence Gathering: Land-attack missile missions require accurate intelligence gathering to identify and prioritize targets based on strategic value and potential impact.
Targeting and Mission Planning: Submarine crews, in coordination with command centers, perform detailed mission planning, considering factors such as target location, missile range, and desired effects.
V. Conclusion:
Professor Kamuro concluded the lecture by stating “land-attack missiles mounted on submarines are highly capable weapons systems that provide submarines with the ability to engage and neutralize land-based targets with precision and effectiveness. Through extended range, advanced guidance systems, and covert deployment, these missiles significantly enhance the strategic capabilities of submarines and contribute to maintaining regional stability and deterrence. Thank you for joining me in this lecture, and I hope you now have a comprehensive understanding of land-attack missiles mounted on submarines.”
