Performed troubleshooting and repair on the XM-153 Crows Weapon System to include Weapon Station, Fire Control Unit, and Control Grip. Taught the installation of the Crow Weapons System on MRAP vehicles of all series. The CROWS system provided the Army and Joint forces with the capability to enhance survivability for vehicle Gunners by providing under armor protection for Gunners who were exposed to a wide range of hostile kinetic effects when employing Gunner Protection Kit (GPK) mounted weapons systems. There are three major capability gaps that the CROWS system has addressed since the first increment development. First was a shoot-on-the move weapons stabilization capability. Second was the protection of the exposed gunner. Third was an enhanced engagement and target discrimination capability in all environmental and other reduced visibility conditions through the use of day and thermal imaging optics and fire controls. Several existing wheeled and light armored vehicles, such as variants of the up armored HMMWV and the M93 FOX vehicle do not provide these capabilities for the mounted crew served weapon station. These deficiencies render the vehicles crew members operating weapons particularly vulnerable to a variety of direct and indirect weapons effects. Several existing light armored vehicles that do provide protection for the gunner, such as the MRAP vehicle use heavy gunner's shields and turrets that limit future growth and digital integration opportunities. The CROWS system provides capabilities to cover gaps for protection and provided responses to hostile weapons fires. Doctrine and Tactics Training (DTT) provides the guidance to commanders, leaders, staff, and operators on how to employ and sustain the combat capabilities of new or improved equipment, systems, or organizations.
