Very interesting...!
I took part in a Digital Division exercise at the NTC in '95 where part of the demo was a live shot of a Tomahawk Land Attack Missile (TLAM) from 'somewhere in the Pacific' to a target in the China Lake test range. The TLAM had a cigar-sized video camera mounted in the tailfins that allowed the controllers to vector it in to the target. The TLAM approached the target on a recon run to let the controllers decide whether to attack, made a race-track circuit around the range, and hit the target on the second run. Pretty impressive. 8 years ago!

Cool! The Tomahawk was amazing 20 years ago and just keeps getting better.
