The Improved Target Acquisition System (ITAS) is the result of a technology insertion program to upgrade the current tube-launched, optically tracked, wire-guided (TOW) missile. The ITAS fires all existing and future versions of the TOW family of missiles. The ITAS provides for the integration of both the daysight and night vision sight (NVS) into a single housing and for automatic boresighting. It has embedded training (for sustainment training) and advanced built-in test/built-in-test equipment (BIT/BITE), which provides fault detection and isolation. A field tactical trainer (FTT) will replace the current TOW 2 MILES training device for force-on-force training. (The FTT will interface with future MILES replacement systems [MILES II and MILES 2000] when fielded.) 1-1.
