This ITOP provides guidance for testing secondary armament systems mounted on combat vehicles to determine whether they comply with requirements documents and specifications. Vehicular secondary armament is regarded as including all armament other than primary weapon on fighting vehicles. Three such types of armament are: (a) Machineguns mounted coaxially with a primary major-caliber gun, (b) Auxiliary weapons that augment the combat potential of the vehicle (e.g., grenade launchers as installed on vehicles), (c) Weapon systems that give a fighting capability to vehicles whose primary role is to perform a function other than fighting (e.g., the powered machinegun or automatic cannon on a command-and-reconnaissance vehicle). Within this broad classification are included machineguns, automatic weapons, grenade launchers, and pyrotechnic launchers.
