Answer» What is Armored Gun System mean? The Armored Gun System, or AGS for short, was a US Army competition in the 1980s to design a light tank to replace the M551 Sheridan and TOW-equipped HMMWVs. It was the ultimate incarnation of several research programs run in the 1970s with the aim of providing air-mobile light infantry forces with the firepower needed to last in the battlefield. There were three primary entries into the AGS contest. Cadillac Gage offered its Stingray light tank with the traditional four-man layout. FMC offered the Close Combat Vehicle-Light (CCVL) with a three-man configuration. Teledyne offered its Expeditionary tank which had a two-man layout with an unmanned turret. In 1992, FMC's design was selected and given the name M8 Armored Gun System. However, purchases of the M8 were cancelled in 1997. The role was ultimately filled by the Stryker series of wheeled vehicles. reference | Full Form | Category | | American Glovebox Society | Academic & Science | | Alpha Gamma Sigma | Academic & Science | | American Government Simulation | Academic & Science | | American Gerbil Society | Academic & Science | | Architectural Grilles Sunshades | Academic & Science | | Atmospheric and Geospace Sciences | Academic & Science | | American Glaucoma Society | Academic & Science | | American Gemological Society | Academic & Science | | Academy for Global Studies | Academic & Science | | America Gem Society | Academic & Science | | Associated Graduate Students | Academic & Science | | Architectural Glass Solution | Academic & Science | | Australian Geomechanics Society | Academic & Science | | Augusta (ga) | Airport Code | | Associate of General Studies | Business | | Automatic Generating System | Business | | Aegis Group | Business | | Alliance Resources Ltd | Business | | American Geriatrics Society | Business | | Saga Systems, Inc. | Business | | American Gem Society | Business | | Avtomaticheskiy Granatomet Stankouyy | Business | | Abuja Graduate School | Community | | ASMR Godlike Series | Community | | Americans for Gun Safety Foundation | Community | | Aberdeen Grammar School | Community | | American Graduate School | Community | | Augusta, GA USA | Community | | Arkansas Governor's School | Community | | Alliance for Global Sustainability | Community | | Association for Gravestone Studies | Community | | Appleby Grammar School | Community | | American Girl Scouts | Community | | Atlanta Girls School | Community | | Automated Guide System | Computing | | Advanced Graphics | Computing | | Adaptive Grid Services | Computing | | Advanced Graphics System | Computing | | Adobe Graphics Server | Computing | | Asynchronous Gateway Server | Computing | | Advanced Gigabit Satellite | Computing | | Austria, Germany, and Switzerland | Country Specific | | Collector Coin | Cryptocurrency | | Advanced Gun System | General | | American Guidance Service | General | | Agricultural bias-ply tire(s) | General | | A Great Store | General | | Active Global Support | General | | Andean Global Studies | General | | Advanced Geodetic Surveys | General | | Automatic Gear Shifting | General | | Alabama Georgia And South | General | | Active Gravity System | General | | Survey Ship (Auxiliary, General, Survey) | General | | Alternating Gradient Synchrotron | General | | Automatic Generator Start | General | | Annual Growth Survey | General | | Global Solutions | General | | Advanced Guideway System | General | | Auto Gear Shift | General | | Allegis Global Solutions | General | | Annulus Gas System | General | | Arginine Glycerol Salt | General | | Armadyl God Sword | General | | American Gas Safety | General | | Adaptive Gearbox Shift | General | | Active Grille Shutter | General | | Automatic Gearbox Selector | General | | Adaptive Gearbox System | General | | Association des Garagistes du Sud | General | | Autogalerie Solingen | General | | Address Guide System | General | | Alternator Generator Starter | General | | American Goat Society | General | | Alternative Gas Supplier | General | | Air Guard Station | General | | Air / Ground System | General | | Automated Graphic Systems | General | | Associated Global Systems | General | | Auto Gen Start | General | | Amusement Game Services | General | | Avtomatischeskyi Granatmyot Stankovyi | General | | Applied Geographic Solutions | Geography | | American Geographical Society | Geography | | Australian Government Solicitor | Governmental | | Alabama, Georgia, and South.Carolina | Governmental | | Auxiliary General Survey | Governmental | | Aviation Ground Station | Governmental | | Aeronautical Ground Station | Governmental | | A Graduate Student | Governmental | | Algebra Geometry and Statistics | Maths | | Aicardi–Goutières Syndrome | Medical | | Advanced Genomic Solutions | Medical | | Aicardi–Goutieres syndrome | Medical | | Advanced Gullibleitus Syndrome | Medical | | Advanced Girth Syndrome | Medical | | Aviation Ground Support | Military and Defence | | Armored Gun System | Military and Defence | | Advanced Gunnery System | Military and Defence | | Application Gateway Service | Networking | | Alabama Great Southern Railroad | Regional | | Apostoliese GeloofSending | Regional | | Augusta Regional Airport, Augusta, Georgia USA | Regional | | Alabama Great Southern Railroad Company | Regional | | Adventure Game Studio | Softwares | | Abort Guidance System | Space Science | | Association Genevoise des Sports | Sports | | Annualized Geo-Solar | Technology | | Augusta Regional Airport | Transport & Travel | | Alliance Ground Surveillance | Uncategorized | |
