Over in the Army Projects section of this forum I came across a thread on a declassified 1946 report of the U.S. National Defense Research Committee, Division 12, "Transportation Equipment and Related Problems." The report is a collection of scientific analyses and research on everything from...
I discovered the attached several years back while researching at NARA; I'm not an AFV guy, so I'm hoping the experts here can shed some light on it. The report dates from June 20, 1945. Does this tank project show up at all in "Firepower: A History of the American Heavy Tank" by R.P...

Many years ago I read about this project (end of 70s or early 80s). It was a short-range small caliber rocket launcher, destroying low flying targets by salvo of unguided rockets. A box with 48 tubes was installed in the turret similar to the turrets of modern AA guns, with integral radar system...

I’m looking for any further information and/or imagery (especially a plan/side/front schematic) of the US Army’s HMC T92 and GMC T93 heavy self propelled guns (Gun or Howitzer Motor Carriage) from the end of WW2. Both were mounted on the chassis of the T26E3 heavy tank with the T92 mounting a M1...
I stumbled across this ultimate ATV gun-buggy while looking for pictures of the Excalibur PGM for work. It’s the Standard Manufacturing Co. Excalibur/Vulcan gun system that was demonstrated to the US Army’s logistics exposition PROLOG '85.
It would appear to be a large Supercat style ATV fitted...

Many years ago in the 70s I bought a boardgame called Red Star White Star about a hypothetical mid-70s war between US/West German units and Russian forces. The counters had neat silhouettes of M60s and Sheridans for the US and Leopards for the Germans.
Seeing the thread on MBT 70 reminded me...
