TUCSON, Ariz., May 27 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Raytheon Company has delivered to the U.S. Navy the first production model of the next-generation Tactical Tomahawk (Tomahawk Block IV) cruise missile at the company's Missile Systems operations.

The concept for Block IV arose from a challenge by the Pentagon to implement the U.S. Navy's vision of a low-cost 'Tactical' Tomahawk system that would provide affordable, responsive fire power, affordable follow-on production, and significantly reduce life cycle cost.
