Presentation Transcript

Slide2: 

Lieutenant-General Peter Leahy, AO Chief of Army

Slide3: 

Future land operations will occur in complex terrain against a pervasive threat from a range of highly lethal hand-held weapons at short engagement ranges. Australian tanks must be able to survive multiple anti-armour hits while manoeuvring in close contact and remaining in the fight to support the combined arms team (infantry).

Slide4: 

Tanks save lives (DSTO historical and operational analysis): increases the chance of mission success from 65% to 95% reduces the chance of Australian casualties by a factor of 6 other armoured vehicles cannot compensate for the lack of a viable tank lack of a viable tank undermines the combined arms team (tailored force packages comprising a balance of combat elements that cover each other’s vulnerability's)
