Walter_Sobchak Posted October 19, 2017 Report Share Posted October 19, 2017 According to the video in this link, Curtiss Wright will improve the turret of your M60 so that it can quickly engage 6 pounder anti-tank guns.

Collimatrix Posted October 19, 2017 Report Share Posted October 19, 2017 Maybe we should make a thread on M60 upgrades. There are so many! Serge 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mighty_Zuk Posted October 24, 2017 Report Share Posted October 24, 2017 After Trophy, the next key technology in the Abrams will be an IronVision-like HMD, displaying a full real-time picture on a simplified HUD. Army’s next-gen tank will be see-through with advanced sensors Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This has some very real potential to be freakishly awesome or a raging flaming goat rope of epic stature... Nowhere between the two though. And I'd bet dollars to donuts that they're going to be at least mildly hyperspectral rather than a straight chunk of the IR band (ie swir mwir lwir) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sgt.Squarehead Posted October 28, 2017 Report Share Posted October 28, 2017 Pretty sure tank commanders will still unbutton.....Systems like this provide an enhanced 2d view of a 3d environment, which is nice as an option, but little more IMHO.

A set of cameras gives a 2d view but eyes give a 3d view? I'm confused. I personally can't see the difference between a panoramic camera view with selectable angles and plain eyesight. Tell me I'm not sick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ramlaen Posted October 29, 2017 Report Share Posted October 29, 2017 The USMC's M1A1s will receive an armor upgrade in 2019 and new ammunition data links in 2020. The article makes it sound like the data links are not the same as what a small number of USMC tanks currently have. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You know how you sometimes notice something out of the corner of your eye.....Not sure you'd get that with optics. On the other hand, I suppose, you don't get thermal imaging with the Mk.I eyeball.

Ramlaen Posted November 13, 2017 Report Share Posted November 13, 2017 I haven't been able find much but it looks like those airdrop tests for the LAV-25A2 happened in late October. Quote Other tests underway at ABNSOTD include an airdrop certification of the Joint Light Tactical Vehicle (JLTV), the chosen replacement vehicle for the Humvee and the Light Armored Vehicle (LAV-25A2) Mobile Protective Firepower (MPF). Highly-instrumented test drops by ABNSOTD will help test overall survivability of the vehicles in combat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
