Abrams Lethality Engineering Change Proposal M1A2SEP V4/ECP 1B
Abstract
The Abrams SEP (System Enhancement Program) v4 program consists of lethality improvements primarily focused on the integration of 3rd Generation Forward Looking Infrared (FLIR). Additional improvements include a Laser Warning Receiver (LWR), Improved Thermal Management System (ITMS), and target acquisition sensor upgrades consisting of inclusion of color cameras, laser capabilities, and image processing. Other potential improvements include vehicle smoke generation, survivability enhancements, signature management improvements, embedded training enhancements, 360 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.
