Other Missile Product Improvement Programs

Mission — Other Missile Product Improvement Programs source

PE 0203802A VV2: TOW: TOW Weapon System includes the Improved Target Acquisition System (ITAS) and other TOW missile launchers, TOW missiles (BGM-71 series) and other missiles capable of being fired from TOW Missile launchers, and associated tactical training aids/devices. The TOW Weapon System provides long-range, lethal anti-armor and precision assault fires capability for Army Infantry Brigade Combat Teams (IBCT), Stryker Brigade Combat Teams (SBCT) and Armor Brigade Combat Teams (ABCT) within the Active, Reserve, and National Guard components. The United States Marine Corps (USMC) employs the TOW missile from its ITAS derived M41A7 Saber launchers and Anti-Tank Guided Missile (ATGM) vehicles. The TOW Weapon System improvement program integrates U.S. Army missile and launcher modifications to improve missile safety and reliability, increase system survivability and lethality, and enhance system network capabilities. These capability improvements support Multi-Domain Operations (MDO) as a part of Joint All Domain Operations (JADO) and the Functional Concept for Movement and Maneuver by providing precise lethal capabilities in multiple domains against armored threat systems. PE 0203802A VV2:TOW: has no FY 2026 funding requests. FY 2025 Program Change of $3.000 million for Congressional Add: Containerized Weapon System-APKWS (CWS-A).. CWS-A has demonstrated ability to defeat Group II through III UAS threats. It provides networked sensor to shooter interface enabling multiple stations remotely controlled by a single operator from a protected location. CWS-A increases stand-off situational awareness and security of Command Posts and other Critical Capabilities Assets and Activities (CCAA) and reduces the manpower required to protect semi-fixed locations enabling increased patrols for area security, movement corridors, and response force operations.
