Two [[7.62mm NATO]] machine guns are also installed in the turret, one coaxially mounted with the main gun. Five rifle ports, two on each side of the hull and one in the rear are provided to allow troops inside to use their personal weapons, if needed. Fire control is provided by the Galileo Avionica [[Hitfist]] integrated fire control system, which is capable of measuring target speed and range. The commander is provided with six episcope sights, which provide 360° field of view. The cupola can be further fitted with a panoramic stabilised sight. Additionally, a laser range finder and a thermal imager are provided for the gunner. The commander is equipped with a monitor that displays the view from the gunner night vision system. For dealing with heavy armoured threats, two [[~~Spike (missile)\|Spike~~BGM-LR71 TOW]] anti tank missiles can be installed, one on each side of the turret. These missiles have a maximum range of approximately 4 km. ===Self protection=== Line 52 ⟶ 55: ==Future variants== The Dardo IFVs currently in service with the Italian Army are fitted with the "[[Hitfist]]" IFV turret.
