A wolf in sheep's clothing: although lacking the speed, manoeuvrability and small target area of a dedicated attack helicopter, a utility or light/medium transport helicopter can carry a useful load of weapons and sensors. Its operational flexibility makes it particularly attractive to smaller forces, and its capability may be enhanced by upgrades. (Air Warfare).	Biass, Eric H.		2703

Changes all round - the future of the AFV: following the dreadful events of September 11th 2001, media declarations that `the world has changed' soon became over-used journalistic cliches.	Gander, Terry J.		5133

Cubs into Lions: the tendency for AFVs to become lighter is best regarded as not so much a process of condensing tanks but to raising the lesser combat vehicles to a state where they can punch well above their weight.			1592
Data on display: the cathode-ray tube, which dominated display technology for half a century, has given way to flat-panel displays. All current flat-panel display technologies involve a degree of compromise, but new concepts leaving the laboratory promise better visual images and lower power consumption. (Technology).

Earth-moving add-ons for choppers: scout, utility and transport helicopters can be transformed into effective ground attack systems by the addition of guns, bombs, grenade-launchers, mine-dispensers, rocket projectiles, guided missiles and appropriate sighting systems.	Braybrook, Roy		1999

Improving the breed: any survey of the current armoured fighting vehicle scene will reveal there are many new light armoured vehicles, such as IFVs and APCs, either in production or about to be.			5642

Katadyn cleans the key to life: the importance of portable water treatment in the field cannot be understated. Hydration systems where the soldier carries his own supply solve the short-term drinking requirements, but when a soldier or unit gets separated or is on an extended operation an open road back to the supply truck for a refill is an unthinkable prospect. (What's Up?).	Keggler, Johnny		624
Keeping harm at bay: while being a member of a tank crew has never been a safe job, the potential for danger exists much more now than ever before.			3357

Now thrive the armourers -- armament developments: many argue that the true power of the armoured fighting vehicle rests with its main armament, be it gun or missile. Guided missiles are increasingly becoming `wooden rounds' that fall with the `fire-and-forget' bracket. For them, most of the old guided missile shortcomings no longer apply and they can even be fired while on the move. (Complete Guide).			4270

The new cavalry -- training attack helo crews: just as horse-mounted cavalry gave way to the main battle tank, so has, some would assert, the time come for the attack helicopter to provide the main spearhead into enemy lines. The helicopter's chain gun has replaced the horseman's lance and Hellfire missiles strike where swords could not have been thrust before. (Simulation Approach).	Walters, Brian		965
