It employs an RF-based guidance system provides a response against armored and wheeled weapons systems. 

The contract funds a three-year effort to make performance improvements to the tube-launched, optically tracked TOW missile. The new contract builds on other development activities. Performance improvements will be integrated into all TOW missile variants, including the top and direct attack 2B, direct attack 2A, and Bunker Buster missiles.

“Improving TOW’s propulsion system will increase range and deliver enhanced protection for ground troops while providing them with more capability,” said Kim Ernzen, Raytheon Land Warfare Systems vice president. “Raytheon and the Army have consistently upgraded the TOW weapon system to keep it relevant for today’s fight, and help our soldiers preserve their overmatch advantage on the battlefield.”
