I am a final year Product Design Engineering student and am undertaking a design project to develop a small, manned armoured vehicle capable of providing fire support for infantry units. I would greatly appreciate some input from soldiers who have experience in urban warfare scenarios or tank operation to help shape the design of this vehicle.
I particularly need input on
- How often are you unable to advance upon an enemy position due to hostile fire and what strategies are used to overcome it.
- What strategies are used when pinned down by enemy infantry fire.
- How often vehicle support is required and not available due to current vehicle size limitations (i.e. narrow alleys) or vehicle unavailability.
- How safe do you feel entering a hostile confined urban environment and would having miniature tank support help.
- What calibre weapon would be most effective in a confined urban environment.
- Would you feel comfortable operating a tank using camera input and computer screens
- Would you feel safe in a tank the size of a small car and/or being the only operator
- What sort of weapons are generally encountered in urban environments.
If anyone wishes to contact me my email is [email protected]. Thanks.
