TOBYHANNA ARMY DEPOT, Pa. -- Electronics Mechanic Keith Tucker performs a sight alignment and functional check of the Common Remotely Operated Weapons System (CROWS).

Technicians in the section also support the Long Range Advance Scout Surveillance Systems, a long-range multi-sensory system that provides real time ability to detect, recognize, identify, and geo-locate distant targets and improvised explosive devices.
