The ADATS (Air Defense Anti-Tank System) mounted on the M113 chassis is a versatile and powerful military vehicle designed for both air defense and anti-armor operations. This Canadian-American hybrid platform combines the mobility of the M113 armored personnel carrier with a turret system equipped for surface-to-air and surface-to-surface missiles, making it an effective tool on modern battlefields.

This model delivers a realistic, low-poly representation of the ADATS M113, suitable for real-time applications such as games, VR/AR simulations, military training, and visualizations.

Track Animation Note

The tank tread section uses a UV-based scrolling texture technique to simulate realistic track movement. By offsetting the UVs (left or right) along the U-axis inside a game engine like Unity or Unreal, the tracks appear to move convincingly without using skeletal or rigged animation.

This was done intentionally to keep the model low-poly while still achieving high visual realism in motion.
