Raytheon said Wednesday that the country intends to build up its border defense posture and sovereignty by ordering the tube-launched, optically tracked, wireless-guided missiles.
The contract’s base period of performance begins 2015 and U.S. government could execute the order with Raytheon in the coming weeks, the company said.
Nearly 40 international military forces use the TOW missiles for anti-armor, anti-fortification and anti-amphibious missions.
