Why the CVR(T) family still inspires vehicle design

Which postwar armoured vehicles stand out, and why does the CVR(T) family remain appealing?

The CVR(T) family, especially Scorpion, paired a compact light hull with many roles and could have evolved into command-linked uncrewed vehicles.

The Combat Vehicle Reconnaissance (Tracked), or CVR(T), family stands out among postwar armoured vehicles because it combined a light hull with speed and many specialised variants. Scorpion is the favourite example, while the later explanation also names Scimitar, Striker, Spartan, Samaritan, Sultan, Samson, Sabre and Stormer. The small vehicles weighed about eight tonnes and could support reconnaissance, command, ambulance, recovery, missile and mine-laying roles. Continued hull development might have produced useful uncrewed variants by now. One command vehicle could control several missile-carrying vehicles derived from the same compact platform.
