MBT-B

In July 1964, General Motors introduced a project of a main battle tank (MBT) that would combine all the promising trends of tank-building from the early 1960s. Composite armor should have increased protection from HEAT shells. It was planned to arm it with a 120 mm gun or a 120 mm gun/launching device, and the decision to mount TV cameras on the rear of the turret for additional view and for moving in reverse was even ahead of its time. Also, much attention was given to mitigating radiation impact. The project stopped at the full-scale prototype, and all developments were used as a base for a promising 1970s American tank: the MBT-70.
