Once Ive done the basics I shall post up some pics as I develope the painting. Through this same period, there was an ongoing effort to improve NATO logistics by standardizing ammunition to the maximum possible degree. [51][52] By March 2005, approximately 80 Abrams tanks were forced out of action by enemy attacks;[53] 63 were shipped back to the U.S. for repairs, while 17 were damaged beyond repair[54] with 3 of them at the beginning of 2003. Designed as a highly mobile main-battle tank for modern armored ground warfare,[14] the M1 is well armed and heavily armored. Suitable for Ages 14 & Older. The large white insignia stars have also transitioned to much smaller black markings. [citation needed] In August 2016, the U.S. approved a deal to sell up to 153 more Abrams tanks to Saudi Arabia, including 20 "battle damage replacements", suggesting that some Saudi Arabian Abrams had been destroyed or severely damaged in combat in Yemen. Preliminary testing showed the upgrades reduced target engagement time from six seconds to three by allowing the commander and gunner to work more closely and collaborate better on target acquisition.[125][126]. This often resulted in programs being canceled due to cost overruns, leaving the forces with outdated systems, as was the case with the MBT-70. $31. M1A1-Abrams+Mine plow Blender + 3ds dae fbx oth obj stl: Free. The Abrams uses a manual loader, who also provides additional support for maintenance, observation post/listening post (OP/LP) operations, and other tasks. [10][failed verification], The resulting design, the MBT-70, incorporated new technologies across the board. During three months, about one-third of the Iraqi Army's M1 tanks had been damaged or destroyed by ISIL and some were captured by opposing forces. The Abrams tank has three machine guns, with an optional fourth: The Abrams is equipped with a ballistic fire-control computer that uses user and system-supplied data from a variety of sources to compute, display, and incorporate the three components of a ballistic solutionlead angle, ammunition type, and range to the targetto accurately fire the main gun. As you see the build has been pretty simple and has gone along with no real issues. In July 1976, the Army prepared to inform Congress of the decision to move ahead with the GM design. The first M1 tank was produced in 1978, the M1A1 in 1985 and the M1A2 in 1986. . [40] A total of 23 M1A1s were damaged or destroyed during the war. Add to Cart. The M256A1 fires a variety of rounds. New 1,500hp (1,100kW) engines powered the designs which could both reach 43 miles per hour (69km/h). [citation needed] The U.S. Army Laboratory Command (LABCOM), under the supervision of the United States Army Research Laboratory (ARL), was also heavily involved with designing the tank with M1A1 armor resistant shells, M829A2 armor-penetrating rounds, and improved weapon range.[35]. [21], At the time, the Pentagon's procurement system was beset with problems being caused by the desire to have the best possible design. The M1A2 SEPv2 (version 2) added Common Remotely Operated Weapon Station (CROWS or CROWS II) support, color displays, better interfaces, a new operating system, better front and side armor, and an upgraded transmission for better durability. The canister round is also a highly effective breaching round and can level cinder block walls and knock man-sized holes in reinforced concrete walls for infantry raids at distances up to 75 meters (246ft). The Abrams also fires high-explosive anti-tank warhead shaped charge rounds such as the M830, the latest version of which (M830A1) incorporates a sophisticated multi-mode electronic sensing fuse and more fragmentation that allows it to be used effectively against armored vehicles, personnel, and low-flying aircraft.

The M1 Abrams was designed by Chrysler Defense and produced under the General Dynamics brand. Under the new framework, contractors would competitively bid their own designs rather than compete solely for the right to manufacture the end product.[23]. In an urban environment, attacks can come from any direction, and attackers can get close enough to reliably hit weak points in the tank's armor or gain sufficient elevation to hit the top armor. The M1A2 SEP variants have been equipped with third generation depleted uranium armor combined with a graphite coating. Fitting the M1 with the M68A1 gun was viewed as an economical and practical solution that allowed for commonality in ammunition among the two types of tanks. [citation needed]. Initial models of the M1 were armed with a 105mm M68 gun, while later variants feature a license-produced Rheinmetall 120 mm L/44. ECP1B, which will begin development in 2015, may include sensor upgrades and the convergence of several tank round capabilities into a multi-purpose round.
