 In 1980, Sisu produced an XA-180 prototype for testing. It competed against two other prototypes, but was the winner of the trials in 1983. in December 1983, the Finnish Army ordered a first batch of 50 XA-180s, of which 9 were reserved for UN.

 {{main|VT1}}
-The main armament of the ItO 90M is the VT1 SACLOS-guided surface-to-air missiles. It's an outstanding missile against aircraft and has a peak speed of around Mach 3.7 and 35G of maximum overload. These features give VT1 capability to catch high-speed jets even when they are evading. At the same time, 8 m of trigger radius and formidable 7.86 kg of TNT equivalent also secure the hit rate and the destruction of the target. With the capability to launch 8 missiles in a few seconds without reloading, you can swiftly wipe out several nearby air targets before they find you and fight back.

These features give VT1 capability to catch high-speed jets even when they are evading. At the same time, 8 m of trigger radius and formidable 7.86 kg of TNT equivalent also secure the hit rate and the destruction of the target. With the capability to launch 8 missiles in a few seconds without reloading, you can swiftly wipe out several nearby air targets before they find you and fight back.
 When it comes to long-range anti-aircraft operations, VT1 has brilliant 12 km of effective firing range that might catch side-climbing jets off guard. It never leaves any vapour trail and smoke in its path, and its tiny exhaust plume disappears about 4 seconds after launch. These advantages make the ItO 90M a silent and lethal threat to enemy jets.

-To use the ItO 90M in effect, you should set convenient hotkeys for "Lock radar/IRST target on", "Switch between Radar and IRST", and "Switch Radar/IRST search on/off". The effective range for the radar lock is 16 km, and for the IRST lock, 10 km. Although many people only use radar lock, ItO's IRST lock has brilliant available range and is very sensitive that can even lock on a scout UAV. It won't trigger LWS or suffer from multipath interference, too. Therefore, you should set a hotkey to switch between radar lock and IRST regarding the situation.

 When you spawn, it is advised to activate your thermal sight and switch the scope scale of your search radar to 20 km at once. Use your speed to drive to an area near the edges of the map and try and pick off any helicopters and unaware aircraft. Try to use foliage as cover and attempt to stay as hidden as possible. Your goal is not to get hit. Use your missile range to your advantage and try your best not to be spotted.
-Considering your brilliant 12 km of missile range and high-performance search radar, you may also advance further to make enemy aircraft spawn closer to your effective range. Check the spot on your search radar to estimate how long will it enter your missile range, launch and guide VT-1 manually, and lock it (or not if you have confidence) at the last few seconds to catch it off guard. Most destructions shall be done at a long distance or without your location spotted.

The radar system is capable of tracking a target while scanning, but can only track targets within a swallow 15° arc from the front of the turret.
