When you use Multiple Integrated
Laser Engagement System (MILES)
components in T´W missile system
tRainingÁ never mix tHem with T´W
system components.
 mix of MILES
and T´W
system
trackers and missile guidance sets (MGS) can do expensive damage to the MILES
tracker head.
»ere's the way to go:
Use the MILÃS tracker head
³N´y
with the MILES MGS siÄulator.
Do not connect the MILES tracker to the TÅW system MGS. Same goes fÆr
the MILES MGS simulator. Do not hook it to the T´W system tracker.
In shortÇ the T´W system tracker and MGS should be disconnected when
you instAll the MILES tracker head and MGS simulatorÈ
The procedure applies to all T´W configurations .
.. but especially to vehicleÉ
mounted systems.
