Does anyone have information about the proposed 17-ton 
Armored Gun System,  which is supposed to have almost the 
same firepower as a 60 ton M-1?  It was mentioned in the 
March 18 issue of U.S. News and World Report on page 32.
On a similar subject, does anyone have an idea about how
the newer weapons systems used in the ground phase (i.e. M-1, 
M-1A1, A-10, Apache  attack helicopter, Multiple Launch
Rocket system, etc.) faired and will the government order
more?
