ABRAMS TANK IMPROVE PROG

Abstract

The Army is currently preparing a comprehensive Combat Vehicle modernization strategy of which the M1A2 Abrams is one component. There are multiple other combat vehicles covered by this comprehensive strategy. Once the strategy is complete and approved, the M1A2 Abrams modernization component will be prioritized in that strategy. The Abrams Fleet Modernization program will utilize an evolutionary acquisition approach with incremental development. This incremental approach will provide upgrades identified as critical from Operation Iraqi Freedom (OIF), emerging threats, and operational interoperability traced to approved requirement documents. The Abrams Fleet Modernization Program is anticipating a Materiel Development Decision (MDD) in Mid FY11. Following the MDD, the Analysis of Alternatives (AoA) will be completed, Army Cost Position (ACP) defined, and the engineering efforts for Increment 1 initiated, leading to a Preliminary Design Review in FY13.
