A Light Armored Vehicle Anti-Tank Modernization A2 model sits under an awning at Production Plant Barstow, Marine Depot Maintenance Command, aboard the Yermo Annex of Marine Corps Logistics Base Barstow, Calif., June 15. The turret atop the LAV-ATM is a Modified Target Acquisition System, MTAS, containing a state of the art rocket launcher designed to be more quickly deployed on target with fewer mechanical parts. The MTAS replaces the more than 30 year old Emerson 901 turret.

The MTAS is capable of acquiring a target and tracking it while moving so that the Tube-Launched Optically-tracked Wire-guided missile, or TOW, can knock out an enemy tank from nearly two miles away. Artisans from PPA as well as Production Plant Barstow are training at the Marine Depot Maintenance Command facility aboard the Yermo Annex of Marine Corps Logistics Base Barstow.
