The Tomahawk Land Attack Missile (TLAM) can strike high-value or well-defended land targets. The missile was first deployed in combat in 1991. The latest variant, "Tomahawk Block IV," introduced in 2004, can use an onboard camera to transmit damage information or target photos before the strike. It has the ability to "loiter" in the target area to respond to new targets; a bi-directional satellite data link allows for flight-time reprogramming to any of the 15 pre programmed backup targets or any GPS target coordinates. It is equipped with a 1,000-pound conventional warhead, the range more than 1000 miles, Tomahawk missile deployed from ships or submarines.
Tomahawk Block IV uses GPS navigation and satellite data links to continue on a preset course. The missile can be reprogrammed to a new target during flight. Two-way satellite communication is used to perform mission changes throughout the flight. An onboard camera provides the commander with images of the target before the strike. The guidance system is assisted by terrain-contour matching (TERCOM).
The digital scene matching area correlation (DSMAC) system or GPS provides terminal guidance. The tactical Tomahawk weapon control system (TTWCS) integrated into the ship's system calculates the path for engaging the target. The system can plan new missions on the launching ship. TTWCS is also used to communicate with multiple missiles to reassign targets and redirect missiles in flight.
Picture: The design sketch of BGM 109B missile
Picture: The design sketch of BGM 109C missile
Picture: This the original design of Tomahawk BGM109 , include a weigh 450 kilograms(1000 pounds) ,integrated warhead, fill with TNT or RDX explosive, one antenna receive the GPS signal,
A Los Angeles class submarine launch three Tomahawk Block IV missiles near the sea of Persian Gulf, the mission is air strike Two TPQ 53 anti-artillery radar systems and one x-wavebands mobile air-defence radar system 900 miles away in desert.
Two TPQ53 radar systems distance twenty miles away, the second TPQ53 radar distance X-wavebands radar 30 miles away. So ,if you want to blow up three radar systems need three Tomahawk missiles, each missile cost more than 1 million US dollar. Total 3 millions dollars.
The AN/TPQ-53 radar system adopts advanced active phased array technology ， it is a mobile anti artillery radar system with rapid response capability . It can identify, detect, and track various projectiles flying in the air, and quickly calculate the opponent's position for counterattack. The radar system is installed on two FMTV medium tactical trucks. Vehicle 1 carries the radar and main generator, vehicle 2 carries the control center and backup generator

I estimate the empty weigh of TPQ53 radar from 2 tons to 3 tons,(not include the trucks) ,it no need take 450kg warhead blow up a medium size radar system.
A X-waveband air-defense radar empty weigh hundreds of kilograms.
It just need consume a 150kg TNT or RDX explosive can destroy a TPQ53 radar, if the 450kg warhead divide into separate parts, each part contain 150kg explosives, its warhead can destroy or wreck three target.
The new design add a artificial intelligence module, and the integrate warhead divide into three separate bombs, each bomb contain 150 kilograms high conventional
Explosive. The AI module control the Tomahawk missile speed of fly, course, The time drop the bomb, how many bombs it drops,calculate speed of winds,
lead lag control , AI module make the bomb hit the target’s radar system accuracy ,
And the smart cruise missile attack the first ,the second TPQ53 radar systems , in first and second attack smart cruise missile play a role as a little bomber, it drops a bomb weigh 150kg above the 30 meters high altitudes . it drops one bomb attack one TPQ53 radar each time.
At the end,the third attack AI cruise missile carry the last 150kg warhead suicide hit X-waveband radar system and blow it up. This mission complete,
That’s said, one AI cruise missile three flight phase autonomously., attack three radar systems, and destroy three targets.
According to relevant reports, Tomahawk Block IV missile perhaps use a millimeter wave active radar guidance head, which locates target by emitting millimeter wave signals and receiving reflected signals. As smart cruise missile drop the first bomb attack first TPQ53 radar, it open a active radar, search and locate next target, Al through the next object is not fixed positions ,it mobile. Collaborate with global positioning system (GPS), THE smart missile easy search and find the second ,third target.

The Sky-M radar consists of 3 separate radars, each mounted on an independent car chassis, with a maximum speed of 80 km/h and a range of 1000 km. The system can process centimeter, decimeter and meter wave signals. The radar can operate independently, but also take joint action, using radar modules in various bands to give full play to its comprehensive advantages to find targets such as stealth aircraft and cruise missiles. The Sky-M radar can detect flying targets at an altitude of 75 km and a maximum distance of 600 km.

Of course , a smart cruise missile can destroy three 152mm caliber howitzers , base on the same physical principal. I will not go into particulars.

The Sky - M systems of Russia ,I estimate radar antenna empty weigh 6 tons or 7tons,, sky-M belong a big size radar system. If destroy the antenna of SKY-M radar system estimate need a 300kg explosive warhead. As a result, the AI cruise missile calculate the weight and size of SKY-M radar ,and drop two bombs(each bomb 150kg RDX explosive) attack the radar .
After destroy SKY-M radar system, smart cruise missile open active radar search next object 40 miles away southwest , a TPQ 53 radar in desert, AI cruise missile carry the last 150kg warhead suicide hit second target--- a TPQ 53 radar. Missions complete.
One AI Tomahawk block IV cruise missile hit and destroy two different size radar system in the meantime.

Perhaps someone said ,The design sketch of warhead contain three bombs are something like sub-munitions. But it’s very different.
1 the sub-munitions have no air propulsion unit
2 The explosive power of single sub-munition too small, it can not destroy big size radar system ,howitzer or other unit.
3 sub-munitions can’t aim at ground target , it can not hit the target accuracy.
4 when two objects distance far away, the sub-munitions can not destroy two targets at the mean times.
Picture: sub-munitions and D20 152mm caliber howitzer.1 the sub-munitions have no air propulsion unit
2 The explosive power of single sub-munition too small, it can not destroy big size radar system ,howitzer or other unit.
3 sub-munitions can’t aim at ground target , it can not hit the target accuracy.
