![]() ![]() Capabilities that were once reserved for higher end combat vehicle, such as the advanced crew controls and enhanced situational awareness once restricted to MBTs, can now be provided to a wider range of vehicle types.įirepower is an effect that is achieved using guns, ammunition and fire control systems. Many advances in technology are equally applicable across all missions and roles, across tracked or wheeled chassis, and they can often be applied in upgrades to older vehicles as well as in new designs. The overarching picture suggests that, from a technical aspect, what were previously separate classes of combat vehicles are progressively becoming more similar. A number of the ‘new’ capabilities that can be provided in recent combat vehicles actually exploit information that has always been there but that has not previously been accessed or shared. This provides for the cross exchange of data across various sub-systems and allows access to that data for different purposes. ![]() Combat vehicles increasingly incorporate a similar CPU (Central Processing Unit) linking all aspects of the vehicle’s functions in an overall ‘open architecture’ system. Underpinning the increased interconnection of combat vehicle characteristics is the introduction of advanced digital electronics and data processing, a trend that has been evident in commercial motor vehicles for some years. ![]()
