The British Army's Next 'Game-Changer' Weapon: Electric Tanks?
With electric cars now on the highway, why not electric tanks?
Britain is developing electric combat vehicles. Not just because they’re better for the environment than those old gas-guzzling, carbon-emitting tanks. But also because it will make the military a more attractive career for a new generation of prospective recruits who are passionate about issues such as climate change.
Or at least that’s the theory. Defense Science and Technology Laboratory (DSTL) – Britain’s equivalent of America’s DARPA military research agency – has begun a £3.2 million (US$4.1 million) project to develop electric vehicles.
“A key focus will be electric drive systems for future tanks and robotic vehicles,” according to the Daily Telegraph.
“Electric drive systems have the potential to substantially increase fuel efficiency in our combat vehicles, reducing the Army’s carbon footprint,” said DSTL scientist William Suttie. “When paired with other renewable solutions such as embedded solar panels, this technology has the potential to deliver significant cost and environmental benefits both at home and on operations abroad.”
