The retrofitted missiles can have either inert warheads or HEAT warheads. The MOIC improves firing-range safety. 2 The MOICE further improves firing-range safety by disabling arming of the warhead until the missile is accelerated by the flight motor. A second rare failure mode occurs when a missile containing a MOIC has a flight motor failure and the missile falls to earth and rolls end-over-end causing the warhead to deto- nate after ground impact of the aft end of the missile. 3 IMOIC, MOIC, and MOICE are designed to be used in the basic and ITOW missiles (which have the 5 in warhead) and will not fit in the TOW 2 series (with the 5.8 in warhead). The components in the MOIC and the MOICE are repackaged in one unit called the IMOIC, which fits the TOW 2 and TOW 2A missiles and provides the same function as the combination of MOIC and MOICE. 4 DMOIC can be installed in analog missiles only and not in digital missiles. The DMOIC for digital missiles has been developed and will be installed in the digital electronics unit test cavity at the rear of the missile. The electrical interface will be via the digital electronics unit test connector and the over-rocked harness connector. 68 DA PAM 385–63 • 16 April 2014
