ELC project
The ELC project was a prototype light tank project launched by the French Ministry of Defense in 1955. The purpose of the ELC (''Engin Léger de Combat'') project was to develop a lightly armoured, heavily armed fighting vehicle capable of being transported by airlift for rapid deployment.〔Les ingénieurs militaires et l'émergence d'une nouvelle industrie française de l'armement: 1945-1960: actes de la journée d'études organisée le 20 mai 1999 par le Comité pour l'histoire de l'armement à l'École militaire, Paris.〕
==AMX ELC==
Prototypes of the AMX ELC were manufactured by GIAT Industries under the AMX (''Ateliers de construction d'Issy-les-Moulineaux'') designation, however the vehicle was not mass-produced and did not formally enter military service.〔(ELC AMX - пара прототипов одного танка ), Оружейная коллекция〕
The vehicle weighed 6 tons, with the driver and gunner located on either side of the 90mm D. 915 gun mounted on the turret. Since in addition of being very light, the tank was also very short (half a meter shorter than the AMX-13), the driver used a reclined position and the gunner had to have its body halfway inside the hull, making turret traverse limited: the gun had a shooting range of 360 degrees when immobile, and was limited to that of a conventional assault gun when in motion. The AMX ELC had a SOFAM 8 Gxb engine. Several models of the turret (AMX ELC bis) were tested on chassis manufactured from plans created by Hotchkiss.〔(1955 ELC AMX ), Chars Francais〕 The vehicle's drive suspension featured four roadwheels and two top rollers on each side.〔(ELC-AMX )〕 A new chassis began development in 1957, and was completed in 1961 under the designation of the ELC bis; this newer prototype had five roadwheels. The prototype is preserved at the Museum of Armour in Saumur.〔
