The ARK is intended to rapidly deploy a ramp or smaller gap bridge without the need for specialised engineering skillset, simply by driving into it. An AVRE deployed fascine could be used to raise the front of the ARK if needed, such as ahead of large sea walls. Latterly ARK vehicles were used by the Royal Armoured Corps to undertake the task [17]

The tank could place demolition charges at heights up to 12 feet. The tank was driven against a wall, and the framework was lowered into the ground against the wall. The tank then backed up 100 feet, laying out an electric detonating cable. The explosives were then detonated by the tank driver. It was the successor to the single-charge device ...

Zorawar is a 3-crew, 25-tonne light tank with amphibious capabilities. The tank will have a high power-to-weight ratio and can be transported by air, rail or road. The light tank has superior firepower, protection, surveillance and communication capabilities. The tank is designed to destroy armoured vehicles, low-flying helicopters, and bunkers ...
Churchill AVRE with fascine on tilt-forward cradle. This particular example is a post-WW2 AVRE on the MK VII chassis. Proposed by a Canadian engineer as a result of experience from the Dieppe Raid, [2] the Assault Vehicle Royal Engineers (AVRE) was a Churchill Mark III or IV equipped with the "Mortar, Recoiling Spigot, Mark II" (or Petard), a spigot mortar [a] that throws the 230 mm (9.1 in ...
On 27 November 1916, Estienne sent to the French Commander in Chief a personal memorandum proposing the immediate adoption and mass manufacture of a light tank based on the specifications of the Renault prototype. After receiving two large government orders for the FT tank, one in April 1917 and the other in June 1917, Renault was able to proceed.
