The M1A2 SEPv4 will be launched for testing in 2022. The project is being created as a "lethal upgrade" that will allow existing tanks to take and maintain a leading position among the main tanks in the world. The improved tank will receive an updated laser rangefinder, color video cameras, an improved turret ring with slip rings, a meteorological equipment complex, ammunition programming tools, radiation warning devices and improved 120-mm shells. The central element of the technical specifications for SEP v.4 is the introduction of a new third generation thermal imaging system. Digital equipment of a new type should have higher resolution and increased detection range. It is also required to reduce the sensitivity of the equipment to various interference. One way or another, improved thermal imagers will allow the tank to find and identify potentially dangerous objects earlier. This will give Abrams clear advantages. Modern scopes with a night channel can lead to an advantage in observation and detection range, due to which the tank is able to detect the enemy before he sees him. All this was clearly shown during the wars in Iraq, when the M1A2 tanks collided with the Soviet-made T-72.

The M1A2 SEP v.4 project provides for an increase in the firing range and projectile efficiency. In addition, it is proposed to install means for detecting laser irradiation, as well as the use of a circular visual review system. The new meteorological sensors are said to improve the accuracy of current conditions with an understandable increase in fire efficiency. An interesting innovation in the SEP v.4 upgrade will be improved slip rings that connect the hull and turret hardware. With their help, it is planned to reduce the number of necessary "boxes" with equipment that provides communication between various on-board instruments. In new projects, attention is paid to additional protection of equipment. At present, the development and implementation of active protection systems capable of timely detecting and destroying an approaching anti-tank ammunition is accelerating.

Exciting news. But is it though??

Hope you enjoy!!
