About this vehicle

Developed from 1951. The advantage of four-track vehicles was the capability to continue moving when two tracks were damaged, as well as to mount a large-diameter turret race ring. After studying the project, Associated Engineers Inc. was requested to develop a second variant with another track drive system, one drive on each side. It existed only in blueprints.
