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...

I found an interesting document while ago: https://apps.dtic.mil/sti/tr/pdf/AD0200798.pdf SUMMARY TECHNICAL REPORT OF DIVISION 12. NDBRC VOLUME 1 - TRANSPORTATION EQUIPMENT AND RELATED PROBLEMS It describes some of the vehicle projects of National Defense Research Committee Division 12...

Here is some data on an interesting British program from the early 1980s. The following information has been copied from Jane’s Light Tanks and Armoured Cars 1984 by Christopher F. Foss. It is posted here for educational purposes. Alvis Sagitar Alvis Limited has submitted three studies to the...

Scanned this in from an old Army Magazine; this has the clearest, most detailed layout of the specs of the Army's AMS program, which included Crusader, Block III Tank, FIFV, etc. -------- ARMY May 1991 Armor's Future: From One, Many By Eric C, Ludvigsen Associate Editor Convinced of the...

From Helicopter World 1965.

FIAT G91 was one of the most succesful Italian aeronautical products of '60s. A lot of the were produced and utilized at least by AMI, Luftwaffe and Portoguese Air Force. FIAT G91 was a close support light STOL fighter-bomber, with some recce capabilities despite its not optimal flight...

I read long time ago in Armies & Weapons the prototype of the SP-70, a cancelled self propelled howitzer but nothing on the web. Do you have something about it ? ;D

I have a lot informations about XM-2001 Crusader but nothing about "light" version (specifications) . These one had only six wheels but i have no dimensions (lenght ? etc...) ;D

Hola!!! I'm interested in information on the evolution of the FCS. These are two models I made from depictions taken out of ARMOR MAGAZINE in 1997. The model is a concept contest winner apparently designed by Dr. Asher Sharoni, from Western Design Howden (WDH) Thanks, Rafa

Here is the story of the gyrojet family of firearms. The gyrojet pistol was an interesting concept. It fired 13 mm rocket that was designed to spin like a rifled bullet towards the target. The firing method was unique as well, the hammer was actually in front of the round. Upon the trigger...

R.I.P. Comanche. :( A few pics of the cancelled EMD phase Comanche. Anyone have more info? I know for a fact that a publicly released 3-view exists but I haven't been able to find it yet. http://www.tinyurl.com/3ac5h3 http://www.tinyurl.com/ytw7dw

I recall a couple of pictures of designs for VSTOL versions of the Grumman Mohawk (one with tilt wing and another(I think from Boeing) with a VSTOL swing wing design? Was this in answer to a requirement in the US or were the aircraft simply speculative ventures in the early 60s. The Boeing...

I photographed this years ago at the Paris air Show but I never found any other reference to it (like designation, specs, 3 views....) I dimmly remember a reference to the cargo bay being kept in the design and could be used as bomb or torpedo(!!!) bay .... any info ? JCC

Just some pictures. Any information on it would be greatly appreciated. (That is, beyond what's on Andreas' site ;) ) Had some computer problems. Got to reformat my C drive yesterday so it'll probably be tomorrow or the next day before I get the pics up.

Boeing/Sikorsky team

Originally it was planned to be on a system like this.

This was an air defense system based on the M1 chassis. ISTR it had two 25mm guns and ADATS missiles but I can't find anything on it.

Was suppose to be a counter to the Russian JS III heavy tank. It weighed in at 65 tons with a 120mm gun. Although it did make it into service in small numbers it was a rarity.
