The high survivability of this vehicle is derived from the low silhouette, high horsepower per ton, duplication of sights, improved night vision capabilities, and the lack of specific driver and gunner controls. These tests began in September 1982 and are to continue for a year or more. The TACOM Motion Base Simulator, a huge shaker table, is being used to provide terrain input. Various stabilization control algorithms are being tried along with different combinations of transducers to determine effects on gun pointing performance and the possibility of eliminating some of the expensive sensors such as gyros. Stabilisation processing has been converted from analogue to digital.
The High Survivability Test Vehicle – Lightweight (HSTV-L) was developed under the direction of the TACOM project manager for Armored Combat Vehicle Technology at the US Army Tank-Automotive Command, Warren, Michigan.įollowing the field testing, the HSTV(L) is being used for experiments in fire-control and stabilisation.

Here is some more on the vehicles associated with the RDF/LT.
