What appears to be an M1147 and M829A4 were on display at this years Maneuver Warfare Conference.

The live fire demo at this years Maneuver Warfare Conference had an M1A2 SEPv3, M2A3 and M1127.

Turns out they were never an Army thing.

Hooray we will be free of the SEP names.

Yeah I haven't seen anything meaningful from China beyond some papers discussing using some form of nuclear power on a Neptune probe. https://www.sciengine.com/SST/article?doi=10.1360/SST-2020-0399&scroll= "Based on a comparative analysis of the advantages and disadvantages of radioisotope and nuclear reactor power generators in space applications, this paper determines that the space reactor power generator is the energy scheme of the Neptune exploration mission, proposes four kinds of major scientific problems involved in Neptune exploration, and introduces preliminary scheme ideas, such as the function module, fight orbit, and design constraints of the mission. Then, focusing on the reactor, the thermal-electric conversion device, the technical route, nuclear safety and radiation protection, the study elaborates the technical scheme of a 10 kWe space reactor power generator. The Neptune detector bus scheme, including TT&C communication, electric propulsion, independent operation and management, high-reliability and long-life design, payload, and microsatellite probe, can provide reference for the demonstration and implementation of Neptune exploration."

https://www.nasa.gov/directorates/spacetech/nasa_darpa_industry_partner_mars_rocket_engine "NASA and the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) announced WednesdayLockheed Martin of Littleton, Colorado, as the prime contractor for the design, build, and testing of NASA and DARPA’s nuclear-powered rocket demonstration, in collaboration with other industry partners. The Demonstration Rocket for Agile Cislunar Operations (DRACO) program will test a nuclear-powered rocket in space as soon as 2027." "Under the terms of its agreement with DARPA, Lockheed Martin is responsible for spacecraft design, integration, and testing. BWX Technologies, based in Lynchburg, Virginia, is responsible for the design and build of the nuclear fission reactor that will power the engine. NASA's Space Technology Mission Directorate (STMD) is responsible for the overall management and execution of the nuclear-powered DRACO engine."
