SLICE | Improved battlefield mobility for heavy armour

SLICE is designed to provide Main Battle Tanks with an organic, scalable, and modular approach to mobility.
In response to an emerging concept to ‘march divided and fight united’, SLICE enables Main Battle Tanks and other armoured vehicles to rapidly fit, operate and remove a wide range of front end equipment such as Mine Ploughs and Dozer Blades.
With an understanding that the demands of the battlefield can evolve rapidly, the host Main Battle Tank can be returned to its original state without SLICE and without any front end equipment.
Enhanced mobility and adaptability are critical assets in reducing the predictability of armoured vehicles. SLICE provides Commanders with the option to rapidly mobilise a broader range of vehicles, drawing upon a common pool of front end equipment that is both suitable for dedicated engineering vehicles, and for use temporarily by others. In this way, a Mine Plough normally used by a dedicated engineering vehicle and which already exists in an inventory could be used by a Main Battle Tank, when needed.
