America's new SEP v4 Abrams, which will begin testing in 2021, will include advanced laser systems, a more deadly 120mm tank round and new technology which allows the machine to stay a step ahead of its enemies.
Details of the new design are classified but Major Genenal David Bassett, who is working on the new armoured vehicle, said laser rangefinder technology, meteorological sensors and laser warning receivers would all feature.
He told Scout Warrior: "A combination of mid-wave and long-wave sensors allow for better target identification at long ranges and better resolution at shorter ranges."
