 ontos
Allis-Chalmers first vehicle, completed in 1952, was based on the running gear of the M56 Scorpion light anti-tank vehicle, mounting a cast steel turret with two arms holding three rifles each.
As an anti-tank vehicle the Ontos had several problems, including a lack of ammunition, a very high profile for such a small vehicle, and the need for the crew to exit the vehicle in order to re-load the guns, making them obvious targets for snipers.
Nevertheless the Ontos units were deactivated in May 1969, and some the vehicles handed over to an Army Light Infantry Brigade.

Field units discovered that if the Badger Recon vehicle could infiltrate enemy lines, and they mounted anti-tank missiles, they could cause an enemy armored unit to halt and deploy short of their objective.
The small silhouette of the vehicle, paired with the powerful Thor Missile System, proved to be a very dangerous combination, much to the detriment of several Fluran armored battalion commanders.
Though the introduction and deployment of the Badger MK I became helpful to several units, the need for variants of the vehicle became quite apparent during the Peros conflict.

 House of Commons Hansard Written Answers for 12 Feb 1997 (pt 2)
An initial search by DTI of export licence records since 1991 has shown that anti-tank/armoured vehicle mine records are not immediately identifiable and I am advised that the research required to examine the records further could be undertaken only at disproportionate cost.
To ask the Secretary of State for Defence if he will list each of the supplier companies to his Department for (a) anti-personnel mines and (b) anti-tank/armoured vehicle mines since 1979; and if he will list the countries to which these companies have exported mines since 1979.
It is clear from earlier research, however, that no mines considered to be anti-personnel mines at the time of export have been exported for over a decade.

 Air Defense Anti-Tank System - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Air Defense Anti-Tank System (ADATS) is a dual-purpose short range surface-to-air and anti-tank missile system based on the M113A2 vehicle.
In 2005, the Canadian Forces decided to transform the ADATS system into a Multi-Mission Effects Vehicle (MMEV).
After an extensive competition, the ADATS system was selected by the U.S. Armyfor the FAAD program under the designation MIM-146 for the missile, but ultimately the FAAD contract was cancelled in the early 1990 because of the end of the cold war.
