This paper discusses the design and development of the Image Transfer Assembly (ITA) which allows integration of the TOW antitank missile weapon system with the Ml 13 armored personnel carrier to achieve the Improved TOW Vehicle (ITV). The discussion includes a brief description of the TOW weapon system, the need to incorporate it into an armored vehicle, the design options for implementing the integration and the major influencing factors that led to the final specific system configuration. The complete 1TA system is presented, describing the optomechanical configuration, stating the pertinent optical system characteristics, and highlighting the major problem areas attendant to the development program.
