2022年3月24日 · One key ingredient in such a conflict would be rapid response and fluid mobility of forward operating forces and, to this end, the US Army sought to field a lightweight tank that was air-transportable and made ready within minutes of disembarking. This gave rise to the Rapid Deployment Force/Light Tank (RDF/LT) specification requirement of 1980.

初速高能提高对装甲的侵彻力；自动装填具有点射能力 (可点射2、3、4、5发弹)，从而对目标的某一部位可实现多发击中，增大侵彻效果. 该坦克是美国AAI公司在 轻型高生存力试验车 (HSTV-L)的基础上研制的，拟装备快速部署部队。 根据美军的战术要求，该坦克应具有良好的运输适应性，尤其是空运适应性；有很好的机动性和灵活性，以增强护护力；能对付苏联T-62、T-72等主战坦克。 从设计思想和作战任务来看，它已脱离了遂行侦察任务的轻型坦克的传统概念，而将能完成支 …

该坦克是 美国 AAI公司在 轻型高生存力试验车 （HSTV-L）的基础上研制的，拟装备快速部署部队。 根据美军的战术要求，该坦克应具有良好的运输适应性，尤其是空运适应性；有很好的机动性和灵活性，以增强护护力；能对付苏联T-62、T-72等主战坦克。 从设计思想和作战任务来看，它已脱离了遂行侦察任务的轻型坦克的传统概念，而将能完成支援步兵突击、阵地阻击及后续任务 [1]。 该坦克样车于1980年10月问世，尚处试验阶段。 该车战斗全重13.426吨，体积小，用C-5B运 …

The Rapid Deployment/Light Tank was developed by AAI Corporation to meet a specification requested by the US Army in 1980. The first RDF/LT shown in the brochure was fitted with a high velocity 76mm cannon similar to the one fitted to the M-41 Walker Bulldog.

2017年1月23日 · The first prototype of the AAI Rapid Deployment Force / Light Tank was introduced in October 1980. The car was sent for tests, during which the real characteristics of mobility and firepower were determined.

2019年2月27日 · AAI's "Rapid Deployment Force Light Tank" or RDF/LT, armed with the 75mm ARES gun, was a 13.4t vehicle. The prototype originated in 1980 and was gradually rebuilt to carry three types of turrets....

The Rapid Deployment/Light Tank was developed by AAI Corporation to meet a specification requested by the US Army in 1980. The first RDF/LT shown in the brochure was fitted with a high velocity 76mm cannon similar to the one fitted to the M-41 Walker Bulldog.

AAI designed its RDF/LT to compete with the latest light tank offerings, with improved ability to fire while moving, high maneuverability (low profile), some amphibious capabilities, and a fin stabilized main gun with high velocity projectiles.
