    According to Nick Moran on tanknet, who had the chance to watch the actual conference video, the caption reads "M1E3-NG MBT".
     
    However, there is also an asterisk at the bottom of the slide, introducing the following warning: "Digital designs not representative of prototype vehicles".

    Turret looks narrower (unmanned + Trophy sponsons?), but I'd digest CADs like this (viewed at an angle, to boot) with a healthy dose of salt.
     
    Holy crap. I've been trying to put a name and specific role on that black cylinder for ages.

    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

    M1A2 SEPv4 canned in favour of M1A3 (type-classified M1E3). Sounds a like AbramsX in some areas.

    ATAC System Demonstrator also know as Thumper, to receive the 140mm gun tube and a functional rearm port, 1992.

    Warren Jones, right, project officer for the U.S. Army, instructs Oak Ridge National Laboratory staff on how an M1 Abrams tank operates in September 1992. From left are Dong-Soo Kwon, Carol Scott, Sam Meacham, Jim Hannah, and Katie Vandergriff.
    Katie Vandergriff and Jim Hannah helped develop the ATAC System Demonstrator's rearm port, they also developed the Future Armor Rearm System (FARS). 
     


     
    Compared to it's first appearance (1988), Thumper received weight simulators in the turret, they also changed the mudguards? Or the turret was assembled on another M1A1 chassis. The XM291 gun got removed from the turret to change the gun tube, from the 120mm L/56 (6.75m) gun tube, to the 140mm L/48 (6.75m) gun tube to test the FARS with the new two-piece ATAC 140-mm ammunition.
     
    The ATAC System Demonstrator and the FARS are sitting together at Sierra Army Depot.

    Curious. Aside from the empty RWS cradle, there is a PASEO missing and, in front of that empty ITV turret pedestal, there is an additional Trophy radar (for frontal, top attack coverage) that...wasn't there at AUSA.

    Hanwha wins lucrative Army IFV contract - Australian Defence Magazine
    The Redback is confirmed with Mk44, Boxer uses MK30-2, so the IFV and the CRV will use incompatible ammunition despite both being 30X173.
    Is there a conversion for Mk44 to use rheinmetall links? Or a linkless feeder for MK30-2?

    The latest rumour is that the winner for 400-3 will be announced at the Defence + Industry conference on 27 July. Not getting too excited, tbh.
