The Army has given Raytheon a $54 million contract to produce 1,123 TOW-2A missiles, 704 TOW-2A training rounds, and 153 TOW-2B missiles. As the Army no longer buys TOW-2s (waiting for the new fire-and-forget version) these are for export sales to Argentina, Bahrain, Japan, Jordan, and South Korea.--Stephen V Cole
