BGM-109G Gryphon Ground Launched Cruise Missiles (GLCM) and their truck-like launch vehicles were employed at bases in Europe; they were withdrawn from service to comply with the 1987 Intermediate-Range Nuclear Forces Treaty. [8] Many of the anti-ship versions were converted into TLAMs at the end of the Cold War. [18]
The United States hopes to have the missile in operational capacity by FY 2027. [21] The United States Air Force has stated that Australian testing facilities will be used for testing of HACM. [22] [23] In Australian service, the projectile will become the fastest missile Australia has ever operated, and the first hypersonic missile.
The BrahMos (also designated as PJ-10) [14] is a medium-range ramjet supersonic cruise missile that can be launched from submarines, ships, fighter aircraft or TEL. [15] It is a joint venture between the Indian Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO) and the Russian Federation's NPO Mashinostroyeniya, who together have formed BrahMos Aerospace. [16]
