火炮辅助推进装置是指火炮离开牵引车之后,能使火炮独立进行短距离行驶(远距离行驶仍靠牵引车牵引),并可实现火炮操作自动化的一种装置。这是介于自行火炮与牵引火炮之间的一种特殊的机动方式,也可以视之为能进行短距离自行、无装甲防护的自行火炮。火炮辅助推进装置的发展,大体可以分成两个阶段。第一个阶段连在本世纪五十年代到六十年代初期。这个时期的火炮辅助推进装置,是作为 Artillery auxiliary propulsion device is the artillery can leave the tractor, the artillery can make an independent short-distance driving (still driven by long-distance tractor traction), and can achieve a gun operation automation device. This is a special type of maneuver between self-propelled artillery and towed artillery. It can also be regarded as a self-propelled artillery capable of short-range self-protection without armor. The development of artillery-assisted propulsion plants can be divided into two stages. The first phase connected with the fifties of this century to the early sixties. This period artillery auxiliary propulsion device is as
