To provide the capability for the Warfighter to train with the Tube-launched, Optically-tracked, Wire-guided (TOW) anti-tank weapon system in an instrumented environment at Combat Training Centers, homestations and deployed locations.
DESCRIPTION:
The ITAS-TESS is an operationally transparent integrated training system that provides crew and combined arms training as either a stand-alone system or as an integrated component at U.S. Army Combat Training Centers (CTC) and Homestations. The ITAS-TESS is a fully-deployable mobile MILES-based training capability and does not infringe upon crew, dismount soldier or ground observer safety. The wireless ITAS-TESS consists of equipment used to instrument and configure the TOW ITAS (mounted or dismounted configuration) as a shooter and as a MILES target. It also includes the equipment to support Homestation training exercises, remote relays to bridge long distances between the ITAS-TESS in an exercise box, and the Mobile Command and Control (C2) at Homestations.
