GM Defense Delco Systems' LAV-25 TOW turret gives TOW missile power to today's light armored vehicles. In production and in use now on both wheeled and tracked vehicles, the Delco LAV-25 TOW turret gives the LAV the ability to defeat the entire spectrum of battlefield threats.

Based on Delco's combat-proven LAV-25 turret, the LAV-25 TOW turret has a fully integrated TOW capability, including TOW thermal sight and controls. The LAV-25 TOW turret and all its subsystems are fielded, proven, and fully supported.

Delco's turrets integrate turret drive and controls, sights, and weapons for fire-on-the-move capability. Commander and gunner have ready access to all controls and displays. The turrets are easy to operate and highly reliable.

Weapons include a rapid-firing chain-fed 25mm cannon and a 7.62mm machine gun firing coaxially with the cannon. Sights and guns are linked and gyro-stabilized for fire-on-the-move with very high accuracy. Delco's turret systems are readily configurable to specific customer requirements.

Customers are assured of commonality with current US and Allied inventories. Delco's turrets are currently being offered to US and Allied forces, including LAV-25 TOW turrets integrated with Piranha, Warrior, M113, and other chassis for customers in the Middle East. These programs include full support in customer languages.
