Alone among the FARA contenders, Boeing have yet to fully reveal details of their submission, apparently designed by the company's 'Phantom Works'. They did release a teaser video - some screenshots of which are shown at https://facebook.com/aerospaceanalysis/

I ran across this website that I frustratingly can't find anymore it gave info on the various attempts to up gun the sherman tank and also had a little info on a radically redesigned sherman tank that moved its gear box beneath the tank allowing the turret to be set further back and reducing the...

I read in Osprey's excellent New Vanguard 153 - M551 Sheridan that, at Fort Bragg, they had a short-lived program to develop a "paratroop fighting vehicle" in the 80s - similar to the Russian/Soviet BMD series- based on a turretless Sheridan. Several prototypes were allegedly constructed, making...

I was looking at the SDASM flickr pictures dump and found a Huey modified with retractable skids, ostensibly to afford a 360 degrees field of view to the large rectangular antenna mounted on the bottom of the cabin. I was not aware of such installation. It reminds me of the FOPEN radar...

The Next Generation Combat Vehicle program has begun to firm up its desires for the Bradley replacement, which it has now dubbed the Optionally Manned Fighting Vehicle. Similarly to MPF, the Army is accelerating this program massively and now wishes to begin fielding it in 2026 rather than in...

Found this early US MICV variant drawing on google images from an original print sold on EBay.

An excerpt: Note: Given the date and lack of dismounts among other things, I suspect that this was the early incarnation of the MIAG proposal. EDIT: Ack, blundered on the title! I put down MIVC-70 instead of MICV-70 and only noticed it now!

Recently, on the website Bring a Trailer a listing appeared for a military project based on a Seagrave chassis with center driving position. I did some digging and found out it was produced by a Blackwater-ARES joint venture. The Grizzly APC1 was built by Blackwater Armored Vehicle and...

I wonder if anyone with a first or second edition copy of Janes Weapons Systems (1969 or 70) could help me track down an image showing a Marder like mock up of a US MICV design for the 1967 MICV competition. I photocopied it some years back from a Library copy (now no longer available) and...

Sorry agent's, but does anyone have any knowledge of any side by side comparison photos of the General Motors XM1 and Chrysler XM1 MBT designs together? Also would anyone be able to direct me to footage of General Motors XM1 film footage, during its trials? Thank's in advance! Regards Pioneer

Hello, I searched the forum and haven't found a thread about this topic, and it appears no one has discussed it in any other threads either, so here it is. Anyway, a while ago I was perusing Andreas Parsch's website and I found mention of the apparently obscure Douglas Arbalist in the missile...

G’day gents I’ve stumbled across this web site http://doktorkurgan.livejournal.com/36798.html?thread=61630 which depicts a prototype (in 1977) SPAAG, which from what I can make out (via translation), combines a 25mm cannon, with the chassis of the XM-701 MICV! It appears it’s a response to the...

Stinger MANPADS are being modified to avert obsolescence and add some new capabilities such as the proximity fuze but the end of it's use and service is foreseeable. I´ve read about the "Future Stinger Capability Working Group". What covers behind this group? Are there any new planned systems...
