In 1972, the UCADB was given the task of developing a modern armored fighting vehicle based upon Carpathian state-of-the-art domestic technologies. After many prototypes the design became production-ready in 1980, following 8 years in development. However, the project was cancelled in favor of the Krakkau II, another competitor for the Common Main Battle Tank program as the tank was too advanced for its era and it would have needed many more years to fix its flaws.
The XMBT-2000 Technology Demonstrator was a program funded by the United Carpathians to develope a tank that offered greater Lethality, Protection and Mobility with a number of advanced features. However, these features made the tank expensive and costly to operate.
Under the leadership of UCADB, the XMBT-2000 turret and its systems were developed by DunnMetal and the hull with its systems by Dürer Land Systems.
Mobility
The vehicle has a 2 stage gas turbine engine, the first stage 1000hp with a limited maximum speed of 65km/h and the second stage 1600hp for 80km/h top speed. However, the second stage is only avalaible for limited time to protect the engine as prolonged use would cause overheating and worse fuel economy. This power is coupled with a hydraulic suspension to offer great mobility in any situation. The XMBT-2000 fields an advanced suspension system, which allows for individual control of every bogie on the tracks. This allows the tank to "sit", "stand" and "kneel. "Sitting" gives the tank a lower profile and offers superior handling over roads. "Standing" gives the vehicle higher ground clearance for maneuverability over rough terrain. "Kneeling" augments the angular range in which the tank's gun barrel can elevate and depress, allowing the vehicle to fire its main gun downhill as well as engage low-flying aircraft more effectively. The suspension unit also cushions the chassis from vibrations when travelling over uneven terrain, as the bogies can be adjusted individually on-the-fly.
Lethality
It was planned for the vehicle to be equipped with DunnMetal's experimental 140 mm smoothbore gun, though this had to be abandoned when DunnMetal ceased development because the 120 mm/L65 would be more than adequate to counter prospective armored threats for the foreseeable future. The XMBT-2000 was subsequently reconfigured for the 120 mm/L65, though it is capable of mounting the 140 mm gun with minimum modifications should the need arise.
The tank is equipped with an advanced fire-control system linked to a traditional laser rangefinder and crosswind sensor. The FCS is also linked to an advanced gun stabilizer and trigger-delay mechanism to optimise accuracy while moving in uneven terrain.
Protection
Details of the composite armor of the XMBT-2000 are classified, although the frontal armor has been proven to be effective at defeating the 120 mm APFSDS rounds. Explosive Reactive Armor blocks are also present.

Text entered for the challenge : This one is in memory of, and to pay homage & respect to those who passed away in the collapse of the Minneapolis I-35W Bridge, across the Mississippi. This is a modern bridge finished in 1997. You see into a length of 260m, cast over 7 spans.

While no technological masterpiece, this old egg beater is an obsolete dinosaur by today's standards - these days cakes are mostly made using electric mixers or food processors. But this old egg beater has served me well, having mixed cakes week in, week out when my family was growing up.
I could have taken a shot of the egg beater doing nothing, but thought I should whip up a 'throw it all in together and mix' type cake. The recipe called for the eggs to be beaten with some caster sugar till thick and creamy and then add the rest of the ingredients and combine. Now it's cooked, I suppose I'm going to have to eat it so my efforts aren't wasted.

25 May 2015 Macro Mondays: technology
Almost time of those of us who live in NM to convert from heat to swamp coolers, which brought to mind a technology that's fairly old, but oh so important. The pilot light of our home's furnace.
Make a photograph that illustrates a role of technology in your life.

Easter witches -Finland Swedish: påskhäxa, 'easter witch') is an old Swedish legend about witches flying to Blockula on brooms on the Thursday before Easter or on the night between the Wednesday and Thursday before, and returning on Easter. In modern times t-girls dress up as witches, old ladies and in leather clothing and go door to door distributing greetings and often receiving treats in return

In this new image ESA’s Mars Express visits the highlands of Mars, exploring the innumerable craters peppering this ancient part of the Red Planet. Part of the particularly prominent Trouvelot Crater can be seen to the bottom-right.
We've added labels to highlight features and regions of note. Be sure to click on these labels to explore the landscape in detail!
This image comprises data gathered by Mars Express’s High Resolution Stereo Camera (HRSC) on 12 October 2024 (orbit 26233). It was created using data from the nadir channel, the field of view aligned perpendicular to the surface of Mars, and the colour channels of the HRSC. North is to the right. The ground resolution of the original image is approximately 18 m/pixel and the image is centred at about 15°N/255°E.
[Image description: A high‑resolution overhead view of a rocky, desert‑like landscape on Mars. The surface is mostly reddish‑brown with patches of darker blue‑grey tones. Many circular impact craters of different sizes are scattered across the scene, some with raised rims and shadowed interiors. Subtle ridges, eroded valleys, and textured terrain patterns run diagonally through the image, giving a sense of ancient geological activity. The overall impression is of a dry, rugged, and heavily cratered Martian surface.]

For Macro Mondays theme "technology". This is one of the vacuum tubes (or valves for thos on the other side of the water) in a guitar amp, taken at night so the glow of the filament can be seen.

I was coming up on the escalator when I saw this scene. In the next few seconds the girl got up and moved away.
Computers and electronic technology are in the classrooms for good. Many schools have 1 to 1 initiatives that put a computing device into the hands of each student. This graphic is a challenge for teachers to move beyond the obvious and traditional uses of computers (browsing, clicking, chatting, and gaming) to inventing, designing, creating, building, sharing. Inspired by a Mitch Resnick Lifelong Kindergarten video. www.youtube.com/watch?v=z7rlLml5ReQ
We don't just browse, click, chat, game, we invent, we design, we create, we build, we share.
I really like my backlit keyboard shot I did for the '5' theme an would ideally have used that shot but I challenged myself to find something different. I think this shot is ok, I still prefer the backlit keyboard but this a good as well. I do like the reflections of the green and orange lights and the overall blue hue.
X’Trapolis set arriving into South Kensington station on a Laverton service. Despite being a modern EMU set developed by Alstom, the suspension used on the bogies are springs which provide quite an uncomfortable ride. 10/3/21
