This will absolutely go in missiles to handle GPS jamming and submarines where satellite signals are unavailable, yes.
It'll be nice if they can get it small enough for a phone, though.

Depending on when the tech is available, preventing GPS jamming of drones is probably much more urgent in Ukraine.
HIMARS, on the other hand, will enjoy the improvements.
They've been in use for years now in that war. The Shahed drone, for example, was used by Russia. About two years ago Ukraine was using autonomous drones to down Shahed drones.
AI targeting came out in the Gulf war, friend. 35 years ago, Tomahawks could use rudimentary AI to match preprogrammed terrain profile and target imagery to get more precise targeting.
The Shaeed is really just a rather shitty cruise missile.

Key word: preprogrammed, and similarly a cruise missile.
It's the FPV drones chasing down people in trenches that require real-time video transmission to control.
AI targeting was debuted in the Patriot missile system, which does technically field the required elements of a hands-off kill chain. But TERCOM is not AI nor was it debuted in the 90s with the TLAM. The original BLOCK-I variants of the Tomohawk (and many versions released afterwards) were no more autonomous than the Shahed-136.
