New Binary propellant engines now field testing promise to extend
missile ranges by at least 200%. Also, the Army is field testing a
vertical launch "clip-on" missile system that would attach itself to
an MBT turret with a variety of anti-air and anti-armor(top attack)
munitions. The only thing you need is a rotating sensor array similar
to the Apache TADS system, but smaller, attached to the roof... The
Army wants to make itself more "self escorting" so that in future
conflicts armored groups will better be able to make follow on
assaults and seize the initiative on the battlefield without as much
reliance on air and artillery support. Also, the GE MBT Railgun
system is being tested now with a reported muzzle velocity of 5000
fps...
