Preliminary design of Viking Armored Gun System.

DE91008073

Publication Date	1990
Personal Author	Gogolewski, R. P.; Cunningham, B. J.
Page Count	25
Abstract	We have completed the preliminary design of our third lightweight armored fighting vehicle -- the Viking Armored Gun System (AGS). The AGS vehicle features a two-man crew, the Ares 75mm Universal Turret System, and the John Deere 4026R Rotary Engine. In the spirit of our earlier AFV designs, our primary concern is to provide the AGS with sufficient firepower and survivability while utilizing ''off-the-shelf'' sub-systems and components in order to reduce developmental time and acquisition cost. We still envision that prototypic vehicles could be built within a thirty (30) month developmental/demonstration program. We still believe that vehicles of this class should be built and tested soon to assess their full tactical, operational, and strategic utilities.
