Modifications to the Tube-Launched, Optically Tracked, Wire-Command Missile Launcher for the Bradley Fighting Vehicle System

Abstract

This report is the first in a series of reports on the consolidation on of tactical missile maintenance work loads at Letterkenny Army Depot. This audit was performed in response to a request by the Deputy Under Secretary of Defense (Logistics). As part of the audit, we reviewed the work loads associated with depot-level maintenance and repairs and depot-level modifications performed for the Tube-Launched, Optically Tracked, Wire-Command (TOW) missile launcher for the Bradley Fighting Vehicle System (TOW missile launcher). Our preliminary review of the TOW missile launcher modification requirements identified potential problems concerning field execution of a modification required to be completed by September 1999.
