THE TANK WEAPON SYSTEM

Abstract

Attention has been focused on the development of relationships to predict the mobility and firepower characteristics of future tanks with specified hardware components. Research in the areas of soft-soil agility and cross-country mobility is presented. An analysis of the effects of cant on accuracy of the tank main gun is reported, and work in target detection and first-round firing time is described. The initial formulation of a tactical performance model for tank units is explained.
