Militaries designing Next Generation Urban Assault Combat Vehicles effective in megacities for urban warfare

Current Ground combat vehicles, especially main battle tanks (MBT) and infantry fighting vehicles (IFV), are the mainstay of technologically superior armies. The combination of firepower, mobility and survivability allows such vehicles to dominate ground military operations. Military planners expect GCVs to fight in relatively open terrain, where threats come from the front. Therefore, engineers optimize the survivability for most GCVs to defend against frontal attacks.
