Design
The main armament consisted of a main turret mounted 120 mm rail cannon, and could be operated by a single crew member. Secondary armament consisted of a general purpose electron beam cannon mounted in a smaller ball turret in the front hull.
Radio wave, infrared, and infrasonic absorption systems reduced risk of detection by the enemy. The tank's sensor suite included an infrared night vision system and a directional sound analysis system. Supplementary systems included a body strength self diagnostic system and a navigational system.
All systems were powered by a hydrogen battery.
Ingress and egress was accomplished via a rear hatch, a turret hatch, and a frontal hull hatch.
A total of four seats were located within the tank's main body and all were equipped with view screens and controls. (SWV: 'Chapter II', SWV: 'Chapter III')
