Developed as part of a fleetwide military standardization and upgrade program in YE 41, the NAM Assault Ordinance Projector AOP-02a is a heavy weapon that fires the newly developed NAM 'Fang' Multipurpose Guided Missile MGM-01a. Intended to arm the upgraded invader, the AOP-02a is a big, indirect fire support and anti-vehicle weapon.
Descended from the primary weapon of the ancient EARTH, the AOP-02a is a modernized version of that weapon firing a new missile. While the original version fired semi-guided rockets, the AOP-02a fires the new NAM 'Fang' Multipurpose Guided Missile MGM-01a. Still big, bulky, and low on ammo, the AOP-02a is intended to provide heavy anti-armor and anti-vehicle fire capability to marine units.
The AOP-02a is a large, heavy weapon- albeit most of its length is taken up by the missile inside of it and the mechanism to feed additional missiles into it. The magazine of the weapon, a dual stack magazine, feeds into the firing tube from above. The handle of the AOP-02a is located near the front, allowing the main bulk of the weapon to rest on an armorsuit's shoulder.
