M1 Abrams

Char M1 Abrams



Variantes :
Abrams M1 : Version de base avec canon de 105 mm
Abrams M1A1 : équipé d'un nouveau canon Rheinmetall de 120 mm
Abrams M1A2 : Equipé d'un nouveau système de conduite de tir et d'un nouvel ordinateur de bord.

Le M1A1, c'est bientot de la mer**, C pr ça qu'ils l'ont donnés au egyptiens et saoudiens...

Un M-60A3TTS avec tte les bonnes choses qui vont avec, vaut largement un M1A1...

un M-1 n'est pas tres grand de taille grace a sa tourelle qui est assé petite comparée a celle du M-60 ce qui fait que le M-60 se ferra sans prob detecter par un T-90 par ex et la ça sera trop tard,par contre un M-1 n'aura aucun prob a semer un T-90.
c'est ce qui faut a nos FAR

Oui un vieux Léopard mais je sais pas trop quel version ... (ou bien une vieille version de challenger 1, mais vu la qualité et la taille de la photo, c'est dur...)

Le double du nombre de blindés du polz, en meilleur qualité, avec un équipage mille fois mieux entrainé , rasé en moins de 23 minutes, par 9 chars Abrams avec un electronique et une armure de 1991 ! ... Ça donne à réfléchir ...

C'est bien un Leopard 1, un indice nous permet même de dire qu'il n'est pas allemand puisque sa mitrailleuse de tourelle est une MAG, ce qui tendrait à me faire penser qu'il est belge ou néerlandais, voire canadien.

Edit: c'est un C2 canadien...

Lockheed Martin Awarded $28.6 Million Contract to Upgrade U.S. Army Advanced Gunnery Training Systems

Orlando, Fl, September 14th, 2011 -- ORLANDO, Fla., September 14, 2011 – The U.S. Army Program Executive Office of Simulation, Training and Instrumentation (PEO STRI) has awarded Lockheed Martin [NYSE: LMT] a $28.6 million contract to upgrade more than 60 Advanced Gunnery Training Systems (AGTS) for M1A1 and M1A2 main battle tanks. The company will also provide 11 new M1A2 training systems as a part of the two-year effort.

The AGTS is a simulator designed to train individuals, crews, platoons and companies in precision gunnery skills, enabling trainees to transition quickly to live fire or combat gunnery. As part of the upgrade effort, Lockheed Martin will integrate the newest version of its Scalable Advanced Graphics Engine (SAGE) image generation technology, which draws from extensive visual databases to help warfighters experience a more detailed environment and encounter more realistic targets.

“These upgrades will help keep warfighters prepared for a dynamic operational environment,” said Jim Craig, vice president of training systems in Lockheed Martin’s Global Training and Logistics business. “Through the AGTS and our SAGE image generation software, they get a training experience that is unmatched – except in real life.”

Additional upgrades include new graphic user interfaces, such as more pull-down menus for the instructor screens, making it even easier for instructors to monitor and control the training scenarios. Since Lockheed Martin developed the original AGTS architecture more than 15 years ago, the company has delivered over 200 AGTS systems and upgrades to U.S. Department of Defense customers with an additional 180 to foreign partner nations.

Abrams Market Share in World Tank Market Continues to Diminish




10:55 GMT, January 31, 2012 NEWTOWN, Conn. | In its annual analysis, "The Market for Tanks," the Forecast International Weapons Group expects the international market will produce more than 5,500 main battle tanks, worth in excess of $24.25 billion, through 2021.

"While increased modernization and retrofit remains transparent to our analysis of new-production tanks, this factor has become a significant force in the international market," said Dean Lockwood, Forecast International senior military vehicles analyst. "Through ongoing maintenance, RESET (repair of battle damage), and upgrades, the U.S. Army intends to maintain its M1 Abrams tanks in active service through 2050."

Between 2004 and 2009, U.S. Department of Defense spending on the maintenance, RESET, and upgrade of existing M1 Abrams tanks was, on average, equivalent to 41.24 percent of what the entire international market spent on new-production main battle tanks annually. In 2010, U.S. DoD spending on the maintenance, RESET, and upgrade of existing M1 Abrams tanks experienced a reduction of more than 67.2 percent since the previous year – with a corresponding drop in the equivalent market share, to 10.69 percent. In 2011, U.S. DoD spending on the M1 Abrams fell 42.77 percent from 2010. Since 2004, the M1 Abrams program has lost nearly 82 percent of its market share.

The expense associated with the modernization and retrofit of high-end main battle tanks pales in comparison with the prospect of new tank procurement. Thus, Forecast International expects new production of high-end tanks to remain relatively low, accounting for 22.79 percent of all production, worth 36.05 percent of the market, through 2021.

In terms of sheer numbers, the Type 98 of the People's Republic of China, Pakistan's Al-Khalid, and the Russian Federation's T-90 (including India's licensed T 90S) will continue to dominate the market, accounting for 54.73 percent of all new tanks rolling out worldwide, worth 43.79 percent of the market, through 2021.

In the international market for main battle tanks, the days of U.S. and European domination over new production appear to be long gone. Nevertheless, the established U.S. and European players continue to make their presence felt. The 120mm Rh 120 smoothbore ordnance, the state-of-the-art Leopard 2, and the combat-proven M1 Abrams continue to set the standard for main battle tank design worldwide.

Second only to infantryman in terms of combat effectiveness, the "Mailed Fist" of heavy armor remains the arm of decision on the modern battlefield. Further, as Operation Iraqi Freedom/Operation New Dawn (2003-2011) evolved from a war of movement into a security operation, the main battle tank proved surprisingly adaptable. In the congested streets of Iraqi cities, the Abrams served as a significant force multiplier, fully up to meeting the challenges of an asymmetric warfare environment.

GDLS receives Abrams tank upgrade contract from US Army
2 May 2012
General Dynamics Land Systems (GDLS) has been awarded a contract to upgrade the US Army's M1A1 Abrams main battle tanks (MBTs) and M1A2 system enhance package (SEP) version one (V1) tanks to the M1A2 SEP V2 configuration.
Under the $31m contract, awarded by the US Army Tank-automotive and Armaments Command (TACOM) Life Cycle Management Command (LCMC), the company will upgrade a total of 24 M1A1 Abrams and 22 M1A2 SEP tanks that have been in service for up to 20 years.
The M1A2 SEP V2 is a technologically advanced digital tank featuring improved colour displays, commander remote operated weapon station (CROWS II), a thermal management system (TMS) and a tank-infantry phone to provide commanders and crew with increased situational awareness of both vehicle and tactical surroundings.
Additional features include the forward-looking infrared detector in both the gunner's primary sight and the commander's independent thermal viewer, day and night thermal sights, auxiliary power and the addition of ballistic solution upgrades for advanced ammunition like M829A3 kinetic energy and M1028 canister rounds.
The configuration is a digitally connected tank with an advanced electronic backbone, powerful computers and an open architecture that is designed to accept future technologies without requiring significant reform.
Work under the contract will be performed at the company's facilities in Alabama, Florida, Michigan, Ohio and Pennsylvania, US, with an estimated completion date of 30 November 2012.
GDLS was originally awarded a multiyear contract by the US Army TACOM LCMC, which authorised the modernisation of a total of 435 M1A1 tanks to M1A2 SEP V2 standard in February 2008.
