So I've heard that during the mid 80s there were attempts to create a 60-ton class IFV based on the M1 Abrams some designs even mounting the 75mm Areas cannon is this true any drawings

In the spring of 2019, the Army awarded a contract to four industry partners to provide non-developmental tactical systems, also known as "off the shelf" technology. The Army will provide the tactical UAS to units so Soldiers in U.S. Army Forces Command can evaluate the system under field...

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 should know the answer to this. When does Lance first emerge as a likely replacement for Honest John and Sergeant and even Corporal, given its range. I only ask because Lance does seem to make Blue Water pretty pointless as it has better range and more mobile with its M548 based launcher...

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 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...

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!

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...

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...
