US ground forces will fund R & D to upgrade the Abrams MBT

111

The US Ground Forces Command signed an agreement with General Dynamics and Systems, which includes research, development and testing in preparation for a proposal to modify the design of the Abrams MBT.

The cost of the agreement is estimated at 395,463 million dollars. The works will be performed at the Sterling Heights facility (Lima, Ogio).

It is assumed that work will continue until April 30 2020. The competition procedure was conducted via the Internet. The US Army received an offer from one bidder.

COMMENT TSAMTO

Over the past year, the US Army command has led an active discussion with Congress about issuing an order from General Dynamics for the supply of additional Abrams MBTs.

Management SV believes that additional MBTs are not needed at present, and considers it appropriate to renew orders in FN 2017. as part of an ECP (Engineering Change Proposals) modernization project.

At the same time, some legislators proposed to continue the production and modernization of МХNUMXА1 to МХNUMXА1 SEP variant (for actions in populated areas) for transferring them to the reserve of the US Army and National Guard. In their opinion, this will allow you to avoid stopping the line and wasting time and expenses on its reopening in the future for the production of new MBTs.

In May of this year, the US Army Command announced that at the current stage, the allocation of funds for research to create the next generation Abrams is a preferable option than purchasing additional MBTs.

As expected, the upgraded tank will require more electricity, the integration of digital systems and, possibly, the replacement of the transmission and engine.

      At the end of the video, Anatoly Eduardovich says that by the end of 2013 there will be a prototype of the "Armata". It clearly states:
      - But what about purely domestic technology? While we are standing near this car, I also wanted to ask you a forbidden question. What is happening with the T-90? Will we have our own tank or will we buy German?

      - There will be our tank, there will be no German. Moreover, now there is serious development work. At the end of 2013, we should already receive the first test sample.

      There is also interesting and encouraging information about Lynx, here is the text of the interview:

      In fact, one expert on armored vehicles told me that the ABRAMS tank is wonderful. It’s easy to rebuild it and fit any terrain and modernize for another 20 years. Of course I like our tanks more, but if we talk about the T90. Other tanks are morally older than the Abrams. Abrashek crammed a lot of electronics. And in the negative it can not be determined
      Now, If we had solid T90s in service ... Well, yes, it would be great. And then we have the basis of the T80 and, alas, is not always in the best condition.

    and now let's go back a little to the topic http://topwar.ru/19109-ukrainskie-sistemy-zaschity-tankov-hotyat-ispolzovat-v-na
    to.html


    The other day, the plant them. Malysheva manufactured and shipped four T-80UD tanks to the United States. According to Defense Express, a representative of the Ukrainian tank building industry, the armored vehicles have different equipment and protection systems. In particular, three tanks are equipped with the latest Ukrainian development - a complex of built-in dynamic protection with “Knife” modules, which makes it possible to defend against all types of anti-tank weapons, including the most formidable - armor-piercing projectile.

    But, judging by the configuration of the tanks delivered to the USA, it can be assumed that the American military is not at all interested in how to break through the armor of Soviet tanks and thus produce new ammunition. Many experts are confident that the United States is interested in a new Ukrainian development - the Knife dynamic defense system. Given that three of the four vehicles are equipped with this protection, the US military wants to see firsthand the difference in how a protected tank behaves compared to an unprotected one. If the Ukrainian Knife defense is as good as its designers declare, it is possible that the United States will purchase it to protect its tanks, and in the future, possibly for armored personnel carriers.

    and now we are discovering what the General Dynamics Land Systems is doing and together we understand why this is all done.

    dear Ukrainian colleagues spent you. Nobody will buy anything from you.

                        Ukraine sold T-80UD to Pakistan, the United States also had access to them, and they seemed to be pro-graded. The standard T-80U were sold to the Koreans because they were sold not from special preparations, but from MO stocks.

            My friend, what have you proved? That you know how to copy ONE table with a bunch of incorrect data?
            I think I asked you there, for example, about the average aperture. About which of the F35 aircraft is listed in the table (but there is a difference, for example, in flight range, tank volume, weapons, etc.). In addition, the table compares serial, small batch, and prototype aircraft. So what have you proved?

            Seriously the same, yes? At first it’s not the ammunition that detuns, but the shells are burning, if you can fade the abrams at that moment, then you fry it lively on the T72. So this is far from the same. After detonation, the Abrams can be restored, and the T72 breaks into small ones pieces. I have not seen, not one case, the death of the crew from the detonation of the BC on the abrams, at T72 there are not a few such cases. So this is far, far, far, not the same.

              Dark in the first place at 72 there are no shells, there are charges in a tight combustible closure and a pallet. In addition, you saw the AZ device live as a charge lies in it.

                This is called a combustible sleeve.

                Again, these theoretical ones seem to be ... but alas, reality is a cruel thing, what you did at the training ground and in training, without the influence of other factors, in reality it will be much more difficult, and sometimes it’s not possible at all. I doubt that in training , they fired at you and you shell-shocked left the tank when the shells lit up, at overpressure and a huge temperature, in a split second you open the hatch and fall out. There is evidence of the death of Russian and Georgian crews due to the ignition of the BC and its detonation. So your opinion doesn’t affect reality.
                This is not a T72 but nevertheless, the liners burn perfectly.

                        If we are talking about Abrams armored plates, then here, any metal loses its properties, let's already have info on Abrams. Abrams is very tenacious, there is a photo of Kazhun, they tried to destroy him, the crew threw a termite grenade into the cabin, the second abrams shot him in the BC area , then Maverick was allowed into the tank, the tank wasn’t completely destroyed, the Iraqis tried to kill him, so the Americans had to give another Maverick. If the abrams completely burns out, then no one will restore it. But there is such a thing when the BC burns out during an explosion only the tower or the armored curtains can withstand, the tower is cut, the entire filler is pulled out and the tank is taken to the states for restoration. Its entire tower is welded, it will not be possible to disassemble it, change the fillers and assemble it. not frail heat treatment.

                    Peter, you probably do not know that detonation instantly occurs extremely rarely?

                    can you argue in which case detonation is possible? As a tankman, I know, and Leon recently butted too with one thing about this. Your word.

                    About the carpet. I minus you two times in total. one from the bottom of your heart when you flew from the corporal, and the second for the seed to answer the question. come on you, you are somehow uncomfortable

                      I know that not right away, thanks. Powder charges or warheads on projectiles may catch fire. It all depends on each case. Now tell me where you served and why you are building a tank expert from yourself. I already saw your VAF about aviation

                        served in the navy so go?

                        • The well-known Russian T-95 tank, also known as the “Object 195” or the “Improvement-88” project, was supposed to become, according to the plan of the developers, a promising Russian 4th generation tank. The tank was developed by the design bureau UKBTM in Nizhny Tagil.
                        • There is evidence that this vehicle has already passed state tests in 2008, and in July 2010 the tank held a private display at the Defense and Defense - 2010 exhibition.

                        and Murakhovsky says that the object is 195 or is it not the same thing.

                        All these torn towers are just an effect, take a word to the moment when they tear off the crew tower in the tank either no longer or it doesn't matter to him anymore.

                        the armored capsule, as you noted on new projects, will also not save from detonation, and the uninhabited turret in this case is plus and not minus. I think so.

                        I can put forward another version - this is the result of a volumetric explosion (a consequence of the leakage of diesel fuel from the middle tank as a result of an RPG, the ignition of the cartridges of charges as a result of the fire, the evaporation of the solarium and, at a critical temperature, the simultaneous detonation of shells in the conveyor).

                        Although it is unlikely that it would be possible to pour these things in the city from a container in the city. A large area would be covered.

                        Hi Alex !! I read your opinion!
                        In 93 I saw something similar, I even remember filming there !!
                        two tanks were in such a state !! I am not a technical specialist, but I remember there were many versions, you know everyone likes to discuss!
                        Several completely different teams began to chase this thing for themselves !!
                        I still don’t understand how it could turn around like that !!
                        I was more inclined then that the scouts blew up or the enemy blew himself up, but how many explosives were needed !!

                he cannot even read carefully. I did not say that T95 is in nature; I just asked a question how the shoulder strap of tower 72 will differ from Armata or T95 (figuratively).

                And how does the capsule protect the crew from the detonation of BC?

                  Sanya, I saw the tank live, but I wasn’t inside and I’m not a tanker at all, so I don’t get upset, I just read comments so much more useful. And he vryatli will answer you, there in the topic of upgrading American B2 and installing new radars on them, this news pleased him. You are talking with a NATO arms and ideology honorary.

                        And when did the Chinese differ in their special intelligence? What they saw next and copied. Here I heard that something will be built according to the type of Baikonur space station in the Far East, after a few months look for a full copy in China.

      My answer is depends on what do you mean. There is electronics in one tank, like the Skolkovo as a whole. But the armor and the engine are quite enough to charge.

    American engine! although once on the Zvezda channel, military designers said that there was no ventilation system adapted to sandy areas. But maybe the experience of both Iraqi warriors has already been amended. Does thickening armor make sense? although in comparison with the Russian tank there is no active reactive armor.

    A neighbor, a veteran of the Second World War, a tanker, fought the entire war in amerovsky "Sherman" - the car, he says, is good, but if they get it down, you have to get out quickly, the skin burns more smelly and poisonous inside! And so our muzzles are not in scars like "34" were not! It was possible to move there!
