The Army is going all-in on its souped-up new M1 Abrams tank

The Defense Department announced on Friday that the Army has awarded a monster $4.62 billion contract to defense giant General Dynamics Land Systems to produce M1A2 SEPv3 tanks for the service over the next eight years.
Also known as the M1A2C, the new Abrams variant “rectifies many of the space, weight and power issues identified during Operation Iraqi Freedom and will be the foundational variant for all future incremental upgrades,” according to the Army.
