One of the most radical developments in traditional armored vehicle designs is beginning to emerge on a number of tactical platforms around the world. It doesn’t involve new protective armor or a new cannon system, but rather the replacement of the linked bands of steel track “shoes” with a single track band that is primarily rubber.

It is my belief that the Standard Products Company made neoprene pads that were bolted on to tracks providing a coushioned surface while reducing the psf contact load.
