The U.S. Army Wants Its Next Tank to Be a Drone Commander
Replacement for the M-1 Abrams to come in the 2030s
WIB land May 19, 2017 Kris Osborn
The U.S. Army is now performing concept modeling and early design work for a new mobile, lethal, future lightweight tank platform able to detect and destroy a wider range of targets from farther distances, cross bridges, incinerate drones with lasers and destroy incoming enemy artillery fire—all for the 2030s and beyond.
The new vehicle, now emerging purely in the concept phase, is based upon the reality that the current M-1A2 SEP Abrams main battle tank can only be upgraded to a certain limited extent, senior Army officials explained.
