The Government does not own a full Technical Data Package (TDP) for the TOW ES. The TOW ES effort supports the production, deployment, and design maintenance of all TOW Weapon System missile variants including, but not limited to, TOW 2A, TOW 2A Practice, TOW 2B Aero, Bunker Buster, TOW 2B Gen 2, and TOW missile launchers. The launcher portion of the TOW Weapon System has several variants that add to the complexity of this effort; including the M220 TOW, Improved Target Acquisition System (ITAS), and the Modified ITAS (MITAS) for the Stryker vehicles. The TOW ES requirement includes logistics management capability, configuration management, product assurance support, special engineering studies, system engineering, failure analysis, test and evaluation, equipment publications, redesigns due to obsolescence, test evaluation material for repairs, reset, field service representative support and contractor repairs.
