Replacing the M-113 don't think this will happen in our lifetime. One of those things when you build a purpose.
Who would ever have thought that this day would come. Almost 45 years of M-113 service; almost as good as the ole Sherman!

Wow they need these batteries since when and they have had the technology to research it since when, and they are now only looking for it to be developed.
We've needed lightweight, rechargable batteries for several dozen years now. Guess it took $2.5 million and a year for some thinktank on the ole Parkway to decide that lightweight, rechargable batteries may be a good idea.
