Sjednocená obrana Obrněný zbraňový systém M8 byl americký lehký tank, který měl nahradit M551A1 Sheridan v 82. výsadkové divizi, a také se očekávalo, že nahradí Humvee vybavené TOW ve 2. obrněném kavalérie regimentu (2. ACR). Projekt M8 byl nakonec zrušen v roce 1997. Svou roli ve 2. ACR nakonec převzal mobilní zbraňový systém M1128.

General Characteristics and Role

The Close Combat Vehicle Light (CCVL) was a prototype American light tank developed by FMC Corporation (later United Defense) in the late 1980s and early 1990s. It was designed primarily for the U.S. Army’s Armored Gun System (AGS) program, aiming to replace the aging M551 Sheridan in airborne and light infantry divisions. The CCVL prioritized firepower, air transportability, and mobility over heavy armor protection. It featured a high-velocity 105 mm gun in a low-profile, fully stabilized turret, combining the lethality of a main battle tank with the lightweight requirements for airborne operations. While the CCVL was a technically successful design and won the competition, budget cuts and strategic shifts led the Army to ultimately choose a variant of the CCVL’s competitor, the M8 Armored Gun System.

Powerplant and Performance

Engine: Detroit Diesel 6V-92TA turbocharged diesel engine.
Power Output: 388 kW (525 hp).
Maximum Speed (Road): 72 km/h (45 mph).
Range (Road): 480 km (300 mi).
Air Transportability: Designed to be transportable in C-130 Hercules aircraft and air-droppable.
Transmission: Automatic transmission, providing high agility and quick response.

Technology and Legacy

Fire Control: Advanced digital fire control system with a fully stabilized gun, allowing accurate firing on the move.
Autoloader: Features an automatic ammunition loader for the 105 mm gun, reducing the crew size to three.
Armour: Modular aluminum armor with provisions for appliqué (add-on) armor packages, prioritizing protection against medium caliber rounds and shrapnel rather than heavy tank fire.
Fate: The CCVL technology was later sold to another country. In 2022, the CCVL concept saw a spiritual successor in the Mobile Protected Firepower (MPF) program, which led to the adoption of the M10 Booker Combat Vehicle.
