Typhon was developed by the Army as part of the service's
Long Range Precision Fires program. The battery deployed from
Joint Base Lewis–McChord via a
US Air Force C-17 Globemaster to an unidentified airfield in Northern
Luzon for the Salaknib 2024 joint military exercises. The system was also employed during the
Balikatan 24 exercises. A spokesperson for the
Philippine Army stated that the deployment of the Typhon missile system in the Philippines could be extended beyond September 2024, pending evaluation on whether the objectives of training exercises were met. Military experts say that deployment of Typhon in the Philippines is part of the American military's strategic repositioning to counter China's buildup of missile capabilities in the Pacific. A second battery was activated in January 2024 and designated as D Battery, 5th Battalion,
3rd Field Artillery Regiment, part of the 1st MDTF out of
JBLM. On September 4, 2024,
Christine Wormuth, the secretary of the US Army, said that the deployment of a Multi-Domain Task Force to
Japan, which includes Typhon missile system, had been discussed during her visit. On December 23, 2024, the Philippine Military announced that they plan on acquiring the Typhon missile system. On July 15, 2025, the German Minister of Defense announced that Germany had submitted a purchase request to the U.S. government for an undisclosed number of systems.
