===Later updates=== Plans during the 1970s called for new tanks to be introduced in the 1980s, but these were later pushed back to the 1990s. This led to a round of improvements for the S103's in service, producing the S103C. The changes were to replace the {{convert|240|hp}} [[Rolls-Royce K range engines|Rolls-Royce K60]] with the {{convert|290|hp}} [[Detroit Diesel Series 92]], new tracks from [[Diehl Aerospace]], external fuel tanks along the sides of the vehicle, a [[laser rangefinder]], and the addition of the dozer blades to all of the tanks, instead of every third vehicle. Conversions began in 1986 and were complete by 1988.<ref name="Lindström"/> There was some development of a S103D model carried out in the 1990s. Yet another turbine was used, along with a [[nuclear biological chemical]] filter system, a new ballistic calculator able to fire on moving targets, a [[muzzle reference system]], better damping of the suspension, improved frontal armor and a separate stabilizer for the commander's machine gun. By this time the newer foreign tanks were selected for purchase and the D-series modifications were not carried out.<ref name="Lindström"/>
