Inside the Secret World of Tank Design with Chris Cardine | JAKTALK with Jeff Kinsberg
In this episode of JAKTALK, host Jeff Kinsberg continues his conversation with Chris Cardeen, a career Army Officer and former Chief Scientist at General Dynamics Land Systems. Chris shares firsthand, never-told stories about the development of the Abrams tank, the importance of negotiation in military projects, and the challenges of balancing transportability and protection in the Bradley fighting vehicle.
Chris recounts his experiences convincing high-ranking officers about technological advancements, negotiating critical requirements, and handling the complexities of production in defense projects - lessons we can all learn from in our leadership roles.
Listeners will gain valuable insights into the impact of mission-focused decisions on career paths, the importance of good sergeants in training, and practical advice for young engineers aspiring to work in defense technology.
This episode is a must-see for anyone interested in military and defense topics! Don’t forget to like and subscribe to JAKTOOL’s JAKTALK for weekly episodes spotlighting experts in defense engineering.

About us:
Our niche: Developing products and accelerating them to market, so let's build something great together!
JAKTOOL has grown over 25 years into one of the Northeast's premier product development, engineering, and precision prototyping and contract manufacturing companies on the merits of our passion, talent, and dedication. JAKTOOL is your trusted product development and manufacturing partner.
- We are a team of humble engineers, craftsmen, and program managers who love interesting and unique problems.
- We help mature ideas into physical prototypes for faster transition and provide low-volume production for precision parts that are difficult to source.
- We excel at projects that are too precise and low volume for most shops.
- We outperform most engineering design firms that get lost in CAD and create virtual models that cannot be built or verified.
- We can physically fabricate and inspect most of the mechanical and electrical products and systems that we design in-house.
- We have an unbiased process (AIM) to consistently capture functional requirements and develop a material solution to transition into production.
