The GWLS.35 or Guided Weapon Launch System no.35 is a joint product of the Royal Shipyards of Isselmere-Nieland and Lyme and Martens Industries Aerospace Technologies Division initially manufactured in 2001 after the adoption of the BGM-109 Tomahawk by the Royal Isselmere-Nieland Navy. Since the retirement of the Tomahawk in 2004, the GWLS.35 has undergone several modifications, the latest of which being the GWLS.35M3 (GWLS no.35, Surface Vessel variant, Mk.3) equipping the latest batch of Europa-class heavy command battleships.

Like guided weapons systems numbers, GWLS numbers are designated by the Defence Procurement Agency, followed by the requisite launch environment classification and variant or mark number.
