Steering of tracked vehicles by articulation is defined and explained, and its basic advantages over skid-steering are illustrated; principal mobility gain is shown to result from elimination of any necessity to `put on brakes' to steer at very moment when all available traction may be needed simply to avoid bogging down; general characteristics and field performance of several new vehicles exploiting this principle are reviewed, such as U S Army's POLECAT, MUSKOX, COBRA and MARK II POLECATS.
