US Army just deployed their new TYPHON system to the Philippines.

It's basically a containerized VLS system on trailers -- can fire either SM-6 Standard or Tomahawk Land Attack Missile.

Yes; that's not a typo; they basically took a USN shipboard SAM and made it into a land based SAM.

Currently, the US has two batteries -- one in the philippines now and one working up in CONUS.

I'm not sure whether to add it to the database because we don't know if the Army is going to double down, and get 8 batteries and keep it for the next 35 years or kill it in the next five years.
