ABRAMS TANK IMPROVE PROG

Abstract

The Army is developing a comprehensive Combat Vehicle modernization strategy for the Abrams main battle tank. This strategy will focus on incrementally delivering capability to the warfighter to meet both near-term limitations as well as mitigating gaps and maintaining combat overmatch in the future. This effort was approved by the Army Acquisition Executive in 3Q FY 2011. The M1A2 SEPv2 improvements implemented through the Abrams ECP 1 Program will restore lost power generation, solve impending obsolescence issues and incorporate inbound technologies currently under development under other existing Programs. The Abrams ECP 1 technologies specified in the Acquisition Decision Memorandum will complete engineering development with a production contract award in FY 2016. Production Qualification testing, Live Fire Test & Evaluation (LFT&E), and a Limited User Test (LUT) will be completed by mid FY 2020.
