Modernization of Abrams allows transition and interoperability between GCV and the future ABCT. Abrams Modernization is essential to maximize the effectiveness of a GCV-equipped ABCT. Abrams provides the ability to dominate land operations for the ABCT now through 2050.
ABRAMS MODERNIZATION
The Abrams Main Battle Tank is the most advanced tank in the world and the backbone of the U.S. Military. Abrams modernization is vital to maintaining dominance on the battlefield, ensuring synchronization with the Armys strategy-based priorities, and guaranteeing a quick response to changes in operational environments/ adversaries. An improved Abrams will provide lower fuel use and maintenance costs, greater tactical range, and improved reliability. Planned Abrams Modernization efforts include:
ABRAMS DEMONSTRATORS
Through independent Research and Development (IRAD) activities, demonstrators will provide the Abrams with a rapid prototyping platform, development integration as well as testing and demonstration of technologies/capabilities.
