M41A7 TOW Improved Target Acquisition System

U.S. Army Soldiers from the Illinois Army National Guard firing TOW missiles at mock targets at Range 19 on Fort McCoy, WI. The 33D IBCT TOW crews conducted training on the M41A7 ITAS system to include system descriptions, target engagement, far-target location (FTL) capabilities, Crew Commands, PMCS, and Missile capabilities. ITAS’s second-generation forward-looking infrared sensors double the long-range surveillance of its predecessor, the M220 TOW system. ITAS offers improved hit probability with aided target tracking, improved missile flight software algorithms and an elevation brake to minimize launch transients. The system includes an integrated far-target location (FTL) capability (day-and-night sight with laser rangefinder), a position attitude determination subsystem, a fire-control subsystem, a Li-ion battery power source and a modified traversing unit. Soldiers can also detect and engage long-range targets with TOW Missiles or, using the ITAS FTL enhancement, direct other fires to destroy them
