MD-55
US Army Typhon SMRF Missile Battery
Item is a 1/700 scale model kit of cast white resin vehicles
of the new US Army Typhon Strategic Mid-Range Fires (SMRF) missile system, also known as Mid-Range Capability (MRC).
The U.S. Army conducted a strategic fires study in
2020 that identified a capability gap in its long- and mid-range precision
fires portfolio. Lockheed Martin was
awarded the contract to quickly develop and deliver the new mid-range fires system,
called the Typhon, which mounts the new Mk 70
Mod 1 VLS launcher (based on the Navy’s Aegis Mk 41 VLS) on a tractor/trailer
configuration. The trailer serves as a
transporter/erector/launcher (TEL). The Typhon SMRF system
leverages existing SM-6 and Tomahawk cruise missiles modified for ground launch
and will also launch a variety of missiles
that are currently used in the Navy Mk 41 launcher, including LRASM, SM-2,
SM-3, ESSM, and VLA. The US Army has
fielded two Typhon batteries with an additional three batteries currently planned
for deployment in Europe and Asia. The
USMC is also exploring acquiring the mid-range fires system.
This model kit is extensively
researched and finished in high detail to 1/700 scale exact.
The kit includes:
- - Two Mk 70 Vertical Launch System
(VLS) TEL trailers that can be modeled in travel or launch mode
- - One Command & Control Battery Operations
Center (BOC) trailer with two telescoping communication towers and ground-based
satellite dish
- - Three M983A4 HEMTT 8x8 tow tractors
- - One Humvee 4x4 support/commander
vehicle
- BONUS: Centurion C-RAM close-in artillery
defense weapon mounted on a modified HEMTT 8x8 chassis
