S
pace is always tight when you enter and exit a tank. But it can be
exceptionally
tight when moving through the loader’s hatch on your M1A2 SEP tank.
Problem is, that darn 1W106A-7 DAGR power cable, NSN 6150-01-557-4006,
keeps getting in the way, especially if you’re wearing body armor. Once snagged, the
cable gets jerked loose or damaged. Then you lose power to the DAGR.
The DAGR’s mounting location isn’t changing. So you need to take steps to keep
that cable out of the way.
When installing the DAGR, make
sure the power cable is Ftted into its
storage slots. Then use some plastic
wire ties, like NSN 5975-00-111-
3208, to hold any drooping cable out
of the way.
A caution note will be added to
the DAGR installation and removal
instructions in a future change to
WP 0325 in TM 9-2350-388-10-2. A
similar update will be added to the
cable replacement procedures in WP
0416 of TM 9-2350-388-23-2-3.

not sure if the
software in your
mission processor
unit (mpu) or
targeting station
control panel
(tscp) is up-to-
date?
no worries. There’s now a
one-stop ako website that
lists the most current
software versions.
and, if your software happens to be out-of-
date, you can download and burn the new
mission loader/verifier (mlv) software files to
a cd for installation on your mpu and tscp.
just go to:
if you can’t burn cds, you can get
the software updates by calling drs
