When realizing the first tank, the challenge was to invent usable engines, transmissions, steering devices and landing gears. While in the first 50 years of tank development the advances were achieved through improvements in mechanical engineering and electromechanics, in the last 50 years the increases in performance were based on the introduction of electronic components and the combination of mechanical and electronic elements with powerful data processing.
In this volume, Rolf Hilmes describes the technological development up to today's battle tanks.
With about 250 b/w and colour pictures, many drawings (some of them in colour).
