Raytheon Technical Services Company has won a U.S. Army TOW (tube-launched, optically tracked, wire-guided) missile subsystems contract valued at $77.9 million. Under the five-year contract, Raytheon will provide logistics and engineering support for TOW subsystems and associated support equipment.
