The MGM-140A ATACMS (Army Tactical Missile System) has an air-launched variant known as the ATACMS Air Launched Cruise Missile (ALCM), designed to provide long-range strike capabilities from aircraft platforms. This variant expands the operational flexibility of the ATACMS, allowing for rapid deployment and engagement of enemy targets from a safe distance. The air-launched version retains many of the characteristics of the ground-launched ATACMS, including a range of approximately 165 kilometers (about 100 miles) and the ability to deliver various payloads, including unitary and submunition warheads.

The air-launched ATACMS features an advanced guidance system that incorporates GPS and inertial navigation for precise targeting, ensuring high accuracy against strategic assets and battlefield targets. Launched from aircraft like the F-15E Strike Eagle or the B-1B Lancer, this variant enhances the U.S. military's standoff capabilities, allowing it to strike high-value targets without putting aircraft and pilots in harm's way. The air-launched ATACMS is designed to integrate seamlessly with existing command and control systems, allowing for quick response times and coordination with other air and ground forces. By providing an effective means to engage targets deep behind enemy lines, the air-launched version of the ATACMS significantly contributes to the overall tactical and strategic flexibility of modern air operations.
