TOW 2 Weapon System Part II

Another thing I’ve noticed being missed is the cable from the TU to the Night Sight. This cable is
called the Post Amplifier Cable. Here you can see clearly where the cable is secured
when the sights are not mounted and where the cable attaches when they are mounted.

When the TOW System is dismounted, it has its own battery system. When it is mounted, vehicle
power is used when ever possible. Here we see where the cables are located and
how they are attached to the TOW system. The system draws its power directly from the two
vehicle batteries. The TOW Vehicle Power Conditioner (TVPC) and the Vehicle Power
Conditioner (VPC) converts the vehicle power to the necessary voltages for the MGS and Night Sight.
