FV 4401 ''Contentious'' was a prototype British air-portable tank destroyer of the early 1960s. At least one prototype was constructed and tested, although no production vehicles were built or saw service. == Project ''Prodigal'' == The vehicle was developed as part of ''Project Prodigal'', as research into future armoured fighting vehicles. ''Prodigal'' would eventually give rise to the CVR(T) series of British light tanks and related vehicles.〔 The intention here was to produce an air-portable tank destroyer. The vehicle's role was for a flexible strategic response to conflicts around the last vestiges of Empire.〔 Despite the low intensity of such conflicts, it was assumed that the increasing supply of Soviet T-54 tanks to satellite states would require an anti-tank capability greater than previous light tanks. This was ''not'' seen as a substitute for a main battle tank; one which would have to be heavily armed to deal with the massed and heavily armoured Soviet tanks of the Cold War. In particular, there was no attempt made at protection against the NBC threat that was expected for any European conflict.
