Abrams Lethality Engineering Change Proposal M1A2SEP V4/ECP 1B
Abstract
The Abrams SEP V4 program consists of lethality improvements. The primary focus is the integration of 3GEN Forward Looking Infrared (FLIR) and the integration of Ammunition Data Link (ADL) for the Advanced Multi-purpose (AMP) round. Additional improvements to the target acquisition sensors consist of inclusion of color cameras, laser capabilities, and image processing improvements. Other potential improvements consist of an improved environmental control system, laser warning receiver, vehicle smoke generation, survivability enhancements, signature management improvements, embedded training enhancements, 360 degree situational awareness cameras, and weight reduction efforts. Trade studies, analysis and technology maturation will be performed to evaluate prospective improvements, along with obsolescence mitigation, and incorporation of inbound technologies currently under development.
