MBT-70

In 1963, the US Army decided to participate in an international program that also included Germany, a country that had extensive experience in building armored vehicles. The result was to be the MBT-70 (Main Battle Tank), which was to meet the requirements of the US Army, as well as all NATO member states, and of course outperform all its adversaries.

According to the vision of the DoD, specifically Secretary McNamara, it was to have hydropneumatic suspension that allowed the tank to "kneel" and lower its silhouette when defending, automatic reloading, a gun capable of firing conventional ammunition and Shillelagh missiles, a remotely operated 20mm gun, a sophisticated fire control system, etc. In the end, there were so many requirements for technical conveniences that development was tied up first by difficulties in developing individual subsystems and then by cost.

The prototype was completed in 1968 and trials began immediately, but by 1969 the unit cost had climbed to five times the originally expected amount. This prompted the Germans to abandon the entire program and devote themselves to developing a second generation of their own, later highly successful, tanks Leopard.
The Army still attempted to push a simplified version of the project, referred to as the XM803, but this only led to fragmented efforts, further delays, and increased costs. Eventually, congressmen ran out of patience and did not release money from the budget for further development. The entire program was terminated in 1971.
