Figure B-10. TOW Fired From Inside a Room
(b) To fire a Dragon from inside a room, the following safety precautions must be
taken.
The building must be of sturdy construction.
The ceiling should be at least 7 feet high.
The floor size should be at least 15 by 15 feet, or larger if possible.
At least 20 square feet of ventilation should exist (room openings), preferably to
the rear of the weapon. An open 7- by 3-foot door would provide minimum
ventilation.
All glass should be removed from windows, and small, loose objects should be
removed from the room.
The room should be clean or the floors must be wet to prevent dust and dirt
(kicked up by the backblast) from obscuring the vision of other soldiers in the
room.
All personnel in the room must be forward of the rear of the weapon.
All personnel in the room must wear ballistic eye protection and earplugs.
At least a 6-inch clearance must exist between the launch tube and the aperture
from which it is fired.
