  1. Not too much new, but the first available picture of the Manned Weapon Station AFAIK.
  2. https://www.dsca.mil/press-media/major-arms-sales/romania-m1a2-abrams-main-battle-tanks Ended up being SEPv3, rather than a bespoke lettered variant.
  3. @StarshipDirect Keep in mind that one of the Army's main goals for M1E3 is a significant weight reduction, which is a key turbine advantage. Best not to count it out too soon.
  4. Honeywell has re-launched the transverse-mounted AGT1500 proposal, possibly related to the M1E3 engine competition. https://aerospace.honeywell.com/us/en/about-us/press-release/2023/10/honeywell-enhances-agt1500-engine-powerpack-configuration-for-the-abrams-tank https://play.vidyard.com/qXVHU8P8pf6iKowGEwJtBB
  5. Some more M1E3 news, the Army is likely to hold a competition for the new engine rather than going with ACE by default. https://www.janes.com/defence-news/news-detail/ausa-2023-army-to-reduce-crew-size-explore-new-engine-for-redesigned-abrams
  6. One more, from the Michigan Army ROTC Facebook page. Looks suspiciously like hatches on the hull front.
  7. @Renegade334 https://imgur.com/a/VS2RNex https://www.gdls.com/ausa2023/ GD has designed an ARV for the Booker.
  8. @Umbe_b Yes. https://gdls-nextgen.com/us-campaign/ Looks like the StrykerX (now called the Stryker QB) will be returning to AUSA, but the AbramsX will not. Edit: The Army Science Board released their final report on the 5th Generation Combat Vehicle recently, which features a clear, crisp image (finally) of one of the OMT designs. It 404s when linking but is available on their site.
  9. Very hard to tell from the image quality, but the hull looks unchanged. Also from Linkedin, what looks to be an M10 with ERA among other things
  10. Sounds like the clean-sheet design effort has been cancelled, disappointing.
  11. https://www.defensenews.com/industry/techwatch/2023/06/26/heres-who-will-move-forward-in-the-bradley-replacement-competition/ Only 2 OMFV contracts on the prototype downselect- Team Lynx and GD.
  12. BAE plans to fit the Archer system to the Oshkosh PLS for US Army requirements.
  13. https://www.reuters.com/business/aerospace-defense/israel-plans-first-sale-merkava-tank-european-country-2023-06-15/ Two countries, one of which is European, are reportedly buying surplus Merkavas
