About this vehicle

This project was developed by the British School of Tank Technology (STT) in 1961. The vehicle with low weight and the highest possible firepower was intended for reconnaissance and support. Within the GSOR 1006 project, more than ten layouts were developed, both tracked and wheeled. One of these was the GSOR 1006 Scheme 7. The project existed only in blueprints, but was later merged with the GSOR 1010 and became the foundation for further development, culminating in the creation of the Combat Vehicle Reconnaissance (Tracked) family.
