Summary

y The use of available data link infrastructure will drastically reduce the life cycle cost for NCW integrated long range missile systems.

y The TAURUS missile system can always operate autonomous. A future network integration, including data link, will add additional capabilities to the weapon system.

y The weapon system shall have basic operational capabilities with limited amount of source data.
