这 M901 ITV (Improved TOW Vehicle) is a type of armored vehicle that was developed by the United States in the late 1970s. It is designed to carry a dual M220 TOW (Tube-launched, Optically-tracked, Wire-guided) missile launcher, which can fire anti-tank missiles at long range and with high accuracy. The M901 ITV is based on the M113 armored personnel carrier chassis, which makes it versatile, reliable and easy to transport. The M901 ITV was used by the US Army in several conflicts, such as the Persian Gulf War and the Iraq War, as well as by other countries that bought or received it as military aid.
M901 ITV的主要特点是其“锤头”炮塔，可以通过液压和电动方式升高或降低。炮塔包含一个完整的TOW武器系统，包括一个日视跟踪器和一个用于目标捕获和跟踪的夜视镜。炮塔可以旋转 360 度并从 -30 度提升到 +35 度。M901 ITV无需重新装填即可发射两枚导弹，并在车内的机架中携带十枚导弹。重新装填过程是在装甲保护下完成的，方法是将炮塔向后倾斜并通过后车顶舱口进入。M901 ITV还具有安装在轨道上的机枪用于自卫和用于隐藏的烟雾弹发射器。
M901 ITV也有一些限制。当炮塔处于射击位置时，它不能移动，当炮塔处于收起位置时，它不能射击。这使得它容易受到敌人的火力攻击并降低其机动性。此外，TOW导弹系统要求发射器和导弹之间保持连续的视线，直到它击中目标。这意味着 M901 ITV 必须在导弹飞行期间暴露自己，这可能需要长达 20 秒的时间，具体取决于射程。此外，TOW导弹系统可以被现代电子对抗措施干扰或诱骗。
M901 ITV不再在美国陆军服役，因为它被更先进的反坦克系统所取代，如M2布拉德利步兵战车和标枪导弹。但是，一些国家仍在使用它或在其武器库中对其进行了修改。
