Next Generation Abrams Tank Promotion by General Dynamics #shorts
Показать описание
General Dynamics Land Systems is teasing a next-generation Abrams main battle tank. Details about this new version's capabilities are very limited at present, but there are clear indications that it will feature a slate of improved weapons, sensors, and other equipment over existing M1 tanks, including the possibility of some form of hybrid systems.
The Next Generation Abrams designs from General Dynamics Land Systems, including a new base configuration for the company's Stryker 8x8 wheeled armored vehicle and another planned variant in that family equipped with the Leonidas high-power microwave directed energy weapon. Various unmanned ground vehicle offerings from General Dynamics, including a variant of the TRX tracked design armed with dozens of loitering munitions, which is now called Razorback, and the company entry into the U.S. Army's Small Multipurpose Equipment Transport program, are featured.
Beyond various taglines, such as "Legend Mode" and "The Next Generation of Dominance," there are essentially no specific details about exactly what this new Abrams configuration entails. Other separate General Dynamics promotional material shows that this design is almost certainly unrelated to the upgraded M1A2 SEPv4.
The General Dynamics Land Systems video featurettes on the Next Generation Abrams design, but which only gives passing looks at certain aspects of a computer-generated rendering. Another promotional image for the Next Generation Abrams and Stryker vehicles has been circulating online..
From what we can see in these various promotional materials, the Next Generation Abrams has at least some changes to the general outward shape of the hull and turret. It's not clear whether this might reflect and changes to the crew composition in this version. All existing Abrams variants have four-person crews, with the driver in the hull and the commander, gunner, and loader in the turret.
