M1E3 Abrams

M1E3 Abrams

Main Battle Tank (MBT)

The M1E3 Abrams is the U.S. Army's next-generation development of the Abrams main battle tank, launched in September 2023 after the service cancelled the incremental M1A2 SEPv4 upgrade. The programme prioritises a substantial weight reduction from the roughly 67-tonne SEPv3, a modular open systems architecture intended to make later upgrades faster and cheaper, and improved protection against top-attack and drone threats. A hybrid or diesel-electric power pack is a stated design goal, and a reduced-crew or unmanned turret has been studied. A first prototype was shown publicly in January 2026; it retains the 120 mm M256 main gun and the legacy AGT1500 turbine for early testing. Initial operational capability is targeted for the early 2030s.
