What made the Sunderland so effective was not speed or elegance, but range, endurance, and survivability. It could patrol for long hours over convoy routes, search for U-boats, attack with depth charges or bombs, and remain on station far from base.

ARTIFACT TUESDAY - THE XM800T ARMORED RECON VEHICLE

The XM800T was a tracked platform developed as part of the 1970s Armored Reconnaissance Scout Vehicle (ARSV) program.

It was designed to be small enough for vehicle-based reconnaissance, yet able fight against other vehicles as needed. It weighed just under ten tons, had a maximum road speed of 55 MPH, and had a 20 mm auto-cannon as its primary armament.

The XM800T performed well in testing, but budget cuts in the late 1970s meant the Army could not afford to develop both the ARSV and the Mechanized Infantry Carrier Vehicle (MICV), and the two programs were combined into the successful Bradley Fighting Vehicle family.

Much of the XM800T's "DNA" can still be seen the Bradley today. Today, this XM800T is preserved at the U.S. Army Armor & Cavalry Training Support Facility at Fort Benning, GA.
