This book was released on 1992 with total page 13 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Years 1990 and 1991 (P.L. 101-189) requires the Army to conduct a side-by-side test and evaluation of the Dragon II, the Bofors Infantry Light and Lethal (BILL), and the Milan antitank weapons. The act also requires the Army to select the superior system as an interim system (until the Army's new system called Javelin is fielded), giving full consideration to cost effectiveness and the following six performance measures: tank killing capability, gunner survivability, portability by field troops, countermeasures vulnerability, system reliability, and safety. The act also requires us and the Director of Operational Test and Evaluation to provide assessments of the test and evaluation not later than 2 months after the end of the tests. On January 14, 1992, the Army completed its evaluation. Therefore, as required by the act, we are providing our assessment. We are also providing information regarding (1) whether additional tests are needed and (2) potential Dragon II improvements. Our scope and methodology are in Appendix I.

Book excerpt: Designed in 1942, Britain's innovative Projector, Infantry, Anti-Tank (PIAT) provided British and Commonwealth troops with a much-needed means of taking on Germany's formidable Panzers. Replacing the inadequate Boys anti-tank rifle, it was conceived in the top-secret World War II research and development organization known colloquially as 'Churchill's Toyshop', alongside other ingenious weapons such as the sticky bomb, the limpet mine and the time-pencil fuse. Unlike the more famous US bazooka, the PIAT had its roots in something simpler than rocket science. Operated from the shoulder, the PIAT was a spigot mortar which fired a heavy high-explosive bomb, with its main spring soaking up the recoil. The PIAT had a limited effective range. Troops required nerves of steel to get close enough to an enemy tank to ensure a direct hit, often approaching to within 50ft of the target, and no fewer than six Victoria Crosses were won during World War II by soldiers operating PIATs. A front-line weapon in every theatre of the conflict in which Commonwealth troops fought, from Europe to the Far East, the PIAT remained in service after 1945, seeing action during the Greek Civil War, the Arab–Israeli conflict and the Korean War. This illustrated study combines detailed research with expert analysis to reveal the full story of the design, development and deployment of this revolutionary weapon.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This report attempts to answer the following four objectives with respect to AT test methodology: (1) Determine those factors influencing the evaluation of Infantry weapons under realistic combat environment; (2) Develop techniques and methods to measure critical factors influencing weapon evaluation; (3) Isolate those factors which are subjective, involving judgement and experience, and which are not amenable to measurement from those which are, and establish the relative importance of each; and (4) Develop automated test facilities which will permit operational testing with a minimum of maintenance and technical support.

Download or read book World War II Infantry Anti Tank Tactics written by Gordon L. Rottman and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2013-08-20 with total page 165 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The battlefield interaction between infantry and tanks was central to combat on most fronts in World War II. The first 'Blitzkrieg' campaigns saw the tank achieve a new dominance. New infantry tactics and weapons – some of them desperately dangerous – had to be adopted, while the armies raced to develop more powerful anti-tank guns and new light weapons. By 1945, a new generation of revolutionary shoulder-fired AT weapons was in widespread use. This book explains in detail the shifting patterns of anti-tank combat, illustrated with photographs, diagrams and colour plates showing how weapons were actually employed on the battlefield.
Download or read book The Anti Tank Rifle written by Steven J. Zaloga and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2018-01-25 with total page 81 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The emergence of the tank in World War I led to the development of the first infantry weapons to defend against tanks. Anti-tank rifles became commonplace in the inter-war years and in the early campaigns of World War II in Poland and the Battle of France, which saw renewed use in the form of the British .55in Boys anti-tank rifle - also used by the US Marine Corps in the Pacific. The French campaign made it clear that the day of the anti-tank rifle was ending due to the increasing thickness of tank armour. Nevertheless, anti-tank rifles continued to be used by the Soviets on the Eastern Front with two rifles, the 14.5mm PTRS and PTRD, and were still in widespread use in 1945. They served again with Korean and Chinese forces in the Korean War, and some have even appeared in Ukraine in 2014–15. Fully illustrated and drawing upon a range of sources, this is the absorbing story of the anti-tank rifle, the infantryman's anti-armour weapon during the world wars.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The US Army's development of the 37mm anti-tank gun began in response to needs identified during the Spanish Civil War. By the time it entered service in Tunisia in 1943, the gun was already obsolete, and the US began the licensed manufacture of the British 6-pdr in the hope of finding a quick solution to its artillery requirements. This in turn proved unequal to the demands of warfare in France in 1944, and further anti-tank measures were developed – rocket propelled grenades for infantry use, and weapons designed specifically for use by the Tank Destroyer Force.
