Abrams Tank Improve Prog
Abstract
The Army has approved engineering change proposals for the Abrams program to restore lost platform capability and host inbound technologies.The strategy for Abrams 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 Abrams M1A2 SEP V2 vehicle is at or exceeds Space, Weight, and Power-Cooling (SWaP-C) limitations. In order to host and restore lost platform capability, the Abrams Tank will execute a series of Engineering Change Proposals (ECPs) to support the current embedded systems and to facilitate integration of technologies currently in development under other existing Programs of Record. The ECPs are not intended to exceed the operational capability outlined in current system requirements documents, but rather to ensure that the existing system performance is not further degraded and that Army mission equipment packages can be integrated on the Abrams Platform. 3rd Generation Forward Looking Infrared (IFLIR) integration efforts will begin in FY16.
