In conjunction with General Dynamics Land Systems, the manufacturer of the M1 Abrams, the Army is looking to add another upgrade to the main battle tank. This upgrade of the main battle tank gave the M1A2 Abrams additional electrical power from an auxiliary power unit, elevated its network capabilities, gave it stronger armor, including explosive reactive armor mountings and improvised explosive device (IED) countermeasures, for greater protection against strikes of all types, provided a better ammo data link to interface with advanced shells, such as airburst munitions, and condensed the maintenance required to upkeep the main battle tank. The M1A2 SEPv3 Abrams is currently the most advanced version of the main battle tank and the most sophisticated tank out there. Over the years, there have been significant improvements in sensor capabilities, power generation, mobility, lethality, survivability, armor and situational awareness,” Donald Kotchman, Vice President, Tracked Combat Vehicles, General Dynamics Land Systems, had said in an interview back in 2018. “The Abrams has been around since early 80s, and the original designers were forward thinking to build in the provisions for continual upgrade.
