DIFFERENCES BETWEEN MODELS

The TWPS is fielded in two versions: a Marine Corps version designated MC-TWPS and an Army version

designated A-TWPS. The differences between the two models centers primarily on the extended

capability modules that are optional and packaged separately for the MC-TWPS but that are standard and

packed with the A-TWPS. There are only minor differences in setup and no differences in operation of

the TWPS between the two versions. The major differences between the MC-TWPS and the A-TWPS

are identified in Table 2.
