It focuses on the design of light and heavy anti-armor vehicles. The authors surveyed and analyzed protection systems, weapon systems, mobility systems, sensor packages, crewspace designs, and electronics architectures, and used computer simulations to test many of their recommended configurations. They found that reduced-crew anti-armor vehicle concepts should be achievable using available technology. The designs are projected to be smaller, more maneuverable, more lethal, and less vulnerable than their currently fielded counterparts.  aAlso available on the internet via WWW in PDF format.  aDescription based on print version record. 0aAntitank weapons. 0aArmored vehicles, MilitaryzUnited States. 0aTanks (Military science)zUnited States.1 aSteeb, Randall,d1946-eauthor.1 aBrendley, Keith W.eauthor.1 aNorton, D.q(Dan),d1964-eauthor.1 aBondanella, J.q(John),d1944-eauthor.1 aSalter, Richard G.eauthor.1 aCovington, Terrell G.eauthor.2 aNational Defense Research Institute (U.S.).bApplied Science and Technology Program.2 aRand Corporation.1 aUnited States.bDefense Advanced Research Projects Agency.41yOnline Accessuhttp://www.rand.org/pubs/reports/R3837/
