Typhon

Typhon, also commonly referred to as the "Strategic Mid-range Fires System" (SMRF), is a United States Army transporter erector launcher for Standard SM-6 and Tomahawk missiles. Each system contains four strike-length cells from the Mark 41 Vertical Launching System mounted in the footprint of a 40-foot (12 m) ISO container. Formerly known as the Midrange Capabilities System (MCS), it has since been renamed to the Strategic Mid-range Fires System (SMRF) and given the designation "Typhon".
