When the first tanks were built, the challenge was to invent usable engines, transmissions, steering systems and chassis. While progress in the first 50 years of tank development was achieved through improvements in mechanical engineering and electromechanics, the performance gains of the last 50 years have been based on the introduction of electronic components and the combination of mechanical and electronic elements with powerful data processing. In this volume, tank expert Rolf Hilmes describes the technological development that has led to today's battle tanks.
