    Honeywell has re-launched the transverse-mounted AGT1500 proposal, possibly related to the M1E3 engine competition.

    One more, from the Michigan Army ROTC Facebook page. Looks suspiciously like hatches on the hull front.

    Point Blank was never going to be selected anyways.

    For the love of god no more Bradley variants. Why is BAE even wasting their time with this nonsense.

    Variant 1 and 2 have the least potential. Let's face it, a two man crew is not realistic in the field. Tank 3 still allows a lighter turret with autoloader and keeps a 4th man for UAV operation, operating the 2nd RWS, and other duties. I would assume the gunner is still in the turret with the TC and would be the backup loader since the TC can take control of the main gun from his station using the TC primary control handle. If you look closely you can see the gunners auxiliary sight on the left side of the gun mantlet. This would indicate that the gunner needs to be there to use it, unless they swaped out the old design for a digitalized version.

    That was never a plan to acquire light tanks.
