General characteristics
The «high-firing rate» 155 mm self-propelled gun is mounted on an AMX 30 chassis assembly and designed to provide continuous indirect-fire of the artillery support for the units of the field forces. Its mobility, even in a nuclear environment, equates that of tanks and its response to any firing instruction is extremely prompt. Its calibre and firing rate make for instant and heavy fire power. Furthermore, both crew and ammunition are at all times under armour protection.
This equipment is currently in the experimental pre-production stage and is intended for the French Army.

Technical characteristics
Crew : 4 men (gun commander, first-class gunner, second-class gunner, driver).
Weight : in travel order : 37 tons
in combat order : 41 tons (of which 25 tons are ammunition).

Mobility
The only differences with those of the AMX 30 chassis assembly are as follows :
elimination of the chassis-assembly shell rack
provision of a 25 kW generating set and ventilation system for cooling the gun casemate.
chassis assembly lightened by 2 tons.
Likewise, cross-country mobility and performance of this equipment are the same as those of the AMX-30-D. Fording to a depth of 2.20m is possible.

Armament (manned from within the revolving casemate)
1 gun, bore : 155 mm, barrel 40 times the bore, automatic feed

General characteristics
The salient features of the AMX-30 tank - cruiser tank of the French and several other Armies - are its fire power, high mobility, a squat and streamlined outline conducive io its protection.

Its main weapon, using non-rotating hollow-charge ammunition in conjunction with a straightforward and efficient fire control imparts to it a high probability of hitting targets and destroying enemy tanks at any range from 0 to 3 000 meters.

This armed vehicle is capable of moving across country in contaminated atmosphere and crossing, submerged, streams down to 4 meters deep.

This well-known equipment is due to be manufactured for many years to come.

General characteristics
This tank is derived directly from the AMX-30 tank and was specifically designed to support the latter.

Its purpose is to roughly clear the ground (more particularly removal of obstacles) and carry out all the lifting, hauling and towing operations that cruiser tanks require owing to circumstances arising from the fighting or the terrain and also 2nd and 3rd echelon repairs. Equipped with a crane it can, not only remove the turret of the AMX-30 tank but also substitute a power unit which incidentally can be carried on the rear deck of the tank.

Like the AMX-30 tank it can cross contaminated areas and span, submerged, streams 4 metres deep (with schnorckel).

Technical characteristics
Crew : 4 men (tank commander, driver/radio operator, 2 gunners).
Total weight in combat order, without spare power unit : 36 tons.
Total weight in combat order, with spare power unit : 40 tons.

Mobility
Save for adjustments, the power unit, cooling system, clutch, gear box, suspension and undercarriage are the same as those of the AMX- 30 tank.

Performance is likewise the same except that the speed is restricted to 60 km/hr.

General characteristics
The AMX 10 P is an armoured fighting vehicle designed for manoeuvre and support of motorized infantry.

Well-armoured and powerfully armed with guns it is as mobile as the AMX 30 tank which it may always accompany even for crossing streams since it is inherently amphibian and designed for operating in NBC environments.

Being equipped with a fully up-to-date night-vision equipment it readily performs night assignments.

Carrying a combat groups which can get off, its permanent crew and armament provide the fire support needed as the combat group advances. Armament and its ancillaries are particularly well suited to anti-aircraft defence.
The AMX 10P, leader of the new «AMX 10» range, is currently in batch production for the French Field Forces.

Technical characteristics
Crew: 11 men of which:
— 1 9-man combat group with their weapons and equipment.
— 1permanent crew : driver and gunner.
Weight : in travel order + 11.3 tons
Weight : in combat order : 13.8 tons

Radio equipment
— 2 FM radio sets, short or medium range (TRVP 13 and 213, respectively)
— intercom system (for driver, tank commander, gunner and rear passenger)

General characteristics
The AMX-10-PC was designed for the Commanding Officers of armoured or motorized regiments and Captains thereof.
The only differences between it and the combat tank AMX 10 P are the inner layout, radio equipment and provision of a generating set.
The AMX 10 PC therefore provides the following facilities :
- radio-communication with all echelons ;
survey of the terrain ;
- map-reading in a bullet-proof shelter under reasonably comfortable conditions.
It is currently in batch production for the French Army.

Technical characteristics
Crew : 6 men (2 officers, 1 non-commisioned officer, 2 radio-operators, 1 driver).
Total weight in fighting trim : 13.2 tons.

General characteristics
To provide close-fire support for AMX-30 and AMX-10 P armoured regiments armoured vehicles as mobile and capable of operating in NBC environments were needed.

The AMX-10-TM is the simplest answer that could be found to meet this requirement. In fact, the AMX-10 TM is an altered AMX-10 (one-man cupola and inner layout) which tows the 120 mm THOMSON-HOUSTON - HOTCHKISS-BRANDT MO - 120 - RT - 61 rifled-bore mortar and carries the gun crew and ammunition.

The only difference between this altered AMX-10 and the AMX-10 P relates to the inner layout.

This vehicle is now being produced for export.

Crew : 6 men, i.e., 1 driver and gun crew (gun commander, first class gunner, artificier, second-class gunner, ammunition server).
