New tank program for US Army accelerates

This information was provided by Jen Judson, a writer for the defence News portal, and the signed contract means the formal commencement of plan work on the fresh tank, which is now designated as M1E3, and after completion of the qualification and admission to service, will be designated M1A3. Although formally qualified as another associate of the M1 Abrams tank family, it will de facto be a fresh design, representing the next generation of tanks.
