ABSTRACT:
A track-laying, remotely controlled, miniature target vehicle is shown, bearing an expendable shell which resembles a military tank. Four grooved pulleys on each side carry two V-belts as tracks, one wheel being electric motor-driven. The two reversible electric motors, one for each side, run and are controlled independently of each other by means of speed control units receiving signals from an on-board radio receiver. A transmitter remote from the simulated battlefield is under the control of a tank commander who puts the tank through realistic maneuvers. More remote visual control is provided by an auxiliary control device electrically connected to the transmitter and which is cooperable with an optical instrument, being attached for example to the two telescopes of optical binoculars by quick-releasable straps.
