Definition

  • The production of armored vehicles is a highly specialized industry that first appeared during World War I and reached its height in the United States during World War II. Armored vehicles—including tanks, personnel carriers, and tracked artillery pieces—are very expensive and time-consuming to manufacture. Most require large engines, armament, and tracked propulsion systems. [Source: Encyclopedia of War & American Society; Armored Vehicles]
