What Is AbramsX?

Decal affiliate link: The vaunted M1 Abrams main battle tank has been in service with the United States military since the 1980s, when the Cold War was in full swing. The M1, designed with crew survivability as its primary design consideration, has gone through a number of upgrades to maintain its effectiveness. The latest in its long line of tech demonstrators is the AbramsX, which was shown off at AUSA 2022. General Dynamics Land Systems is offering the AbramsX as a stopgap solution to follow the M1A2 SEPv3 and SEPv4 while an entirely new tank is developed. It has a trove of new gadgets and technologies onboard; including an XM360 cannon, AN/VVR-4 laser warning system, Meggitt autoloader, Trophy active protection system, and Switchblade drones. It’s unlikely that the US Army will take the AbramsX. The more likely outcome is that the Army takes certain aspects that they like and apply them to SEPv5.
