Topic: The TOW - The first widespread SACLOS antitank missile

Dear Members,

Below is the webpage you can go to where I posted the rest of the photos on the TOW system (ie my files cover to 1992) and where another member provided more recent photos of the TOW (eg the top-attack version).

Finally, Raytheon the company that bought Hughes Missile (and they also bought Texas Instruments who R&D and produced the Javelin) is now working on a private project to develop a wireless TOW that uses an unjammable radio guidance system. Full circle folks. The Russians orginally developed their first antitank missile with RF guidance and then switched to wire guidances.
