Abstract

In the past few decades, tanks have been developed into a highly effective weapon system, particularly useful in the shortj intense and highly dynamic scenario of modem warfare. However, with the advent of new jtechnology, tanks would definitely have to undergo improvements to remain cost-effective as well as combat-effective. Such evolutionjis already taking place with new designs being developed 31" well as those still on the drawing board of advanced nations. In the race for technolological domilnation, only those nations with a tradition of indigenous innovations and courage to tread new paths, can hope to remain dominant in the field of military technology.
