Gunners Protection Kit
Abstract
Gunners Protection Kit (GPK). Prior to FY 2020, GPK was funded within the Family of Infantry Weapons (FIWS). The TOGPK 2.0 is the planned upgrade and replacement for the Tube-Launched, Optically-Tracked, Wire-Guided Gunner Protection Kit (TGPK), currently in use with TOW High Mobility Multipurpose Wheeled Vehicle variants. TOGPK 2.0 affords the TOW gunner protection from small arms fire and Improvised Explosive Device fragmentation. TOGPK 2.0 addresses user concerns regarding limited workspace and TOW slew as well as improved visibility. The Reducible Height Gunners Protection Kit (RHGPK) enables Joint Light Tactical Vehicles (JLTV), Medium/Heavy Tactical Vehicle Replacement (MTVR) and Logistics Vehicle System Replacement (LVSR) to be transported in the lower vehicle stowage areas of Landing Platform/Dock (LPD 17) and Landing Helicopter Dock class ships.
