Abstract. The paper describes how electric drives and hybrid-electric drives are
being applied to military combat vehicles and discusses the advantages
(and disadvantages) of their use in both tracked vehicles and
multi-wheel vehicles. Details are then given of a number of
demonstration vehicles which have been developed using this technology. Vehicles
employing hybrid-electric drives are seen to be of particular importance
in the modern battlefield. It is concluded that electric drives
will play an increasing role in future vehicles and that
it will be difficult to meet some design and operational
requirements without them.
