Article Abstract:
Technological advancements have swung the balance between the effectiveness of passive tank defenses and the efficacy of anti-tank weapons on several occassions. Yet a scrutiny of some of the principal innovations in a number of categories of guided and unguided anti-tank weapons systems indicates that anti-tank systems development may be the norm over the long term. However, this situation may eventually change when tanks are equipped with anti-missile systems, giving them active defenses.

Article Abstract:
The design of a motor vehicle's suspension system, particularly in terms of riding comfort, is often as important as increasing the vehicle's power. A bouncing wheel, a lost grip on the road and a vehicle that is shaken about will neutralize the effect of additional engine power in a vehicle's performance. However, suspension system design requires a balance between a number of myriad factors that include tire pressure and the damper technology used.
