After head-to-head testing between the Prototypes were delivered in 1976 by Chrysler Defense and During testing, the power packs of both designs proved to have issues. With the engine governor removed, speeds of around 60 mph (97 km/h) are possible on an improved surface; however, damage to the drivetrain (especially to the tracks) and an increased risk of injuries to the crew can occur at speeds above 45 mph (72 km/h). This device is mounted on the turret roof in front of the loader's hatch, and can lead some people to mistake Abrams tanks fitted with these devices for the M1A2 version, since the Commander's Independent Thermal Viewer on the latter is mounted in the same place, though the MCD is box-shaped and fixed in place as opposed to cylindrical and rotating like the CITV.In 2016, the U.S. Army and Marine Corps began testing out the Israeli Trophy active protection system to protect their Abrams tanks from modern RPG and ATGM threats by either jamming (with ATGMs) or firing small rounds to deflect incoming projectiles. Wird das unmittelbare Umfeld des Panzers nicht durch eigene Truppen gesichert, kann gegnerische Infanterie ihn aus der Nähe heraus effektiv angreifen, indem sie beispielsweise Haftladungen an verwundbaren Stellen (Motor) befestigt oder Sprengladungen unter die Wanne wirft. Mögliche Verwendungen sind bzw. Nach Ermittlung der Entfernung wurde die Geschossbahn bestimmt, um die Kanone dementsprechend zu richten. The commander's M2HB .50 caliber machine gun on the M1 and M1A1 is aimed by a 3× magnification sight incorporated into the Commander's Weapon Station (CWS), while the M1A2 uses either the machine gun's own iron sights, or a remote aiming system such as the CROWS system when used as part of the TUSK (Tank Urban Survival Kit). A total of 23 M1A1s were damaged or destroyed during the war.
The M1A2 System Enhancement Package (SEP) added digital maps, Force XXI Battle Command Brigade and Below (FBCB2) Linux communications system capabilities for commanders, and an improved cooling system to compensate for heat generated by the additional computer systems. It added protection in the rear and side of the tank to improve fighting ability in urban environments.In May 2008, it was reported that an American M1 tank had also been damaged by insurgent fire of an RPG-29, which uses a tandem-charge high explosive anti-tank warhead to penetrate explosive reactive armor (ERA) as well as composite armor behind it, in Iraq. The exercises were aimed at countering Soviet forces. They contended that the move was to upgrade Army National Guard units to expand a "pure fleet" and maintain production of identified "irreplaceable" subcomponents; a prolonged shutdown could cause their makers to lose their ability to produce them and foreign tank sales were not guaranteed to keep production lines open. This allows the weapon to be aimed and fired from within the tank.
Upgrades after the war improved the tank's weapons sights and fire control unit.
Chrysler and GM entered bids.Through the period while the initial prototypes were being built, a debate broke out between Germany and US about the use of the 105 mm gun. Alle weitergehenden Entwürfe und Versuche, unter anderem von Eines der weltweit ersten gepanzerten Fahrzeuge wurde in Österreich-Ungarn von Bereits 1911 entwarf der österreichische Oberleutnant Die ersten Kettenfahrzeuge, die einen Nutzen hatten, waren die Sämtliche Vorschläge ziviler Spezialisten, eine gepanzerte Kampfmaschine einzuführen, wurden vor dem Im Herbst 1914 wurden auf Seiten der Alliierten erstmals Überlegungen angestellt, wie man mit Hilfe einer machtvollen motorisierten Waffe die im Die ersten Panzer wurden im Ersten Weltkrieg ab September 1916Den ersten Panzer-Angriff führte die britische Armee am 15. The most prominent of which is the turret front changing from vertical to sloped armor. Orbital ATK was awarded a contract to begin the first phase of development for the AMP XM1147 High Explosive Multi-Purpose with Tracer cartridge in October 2015.In addition to these, the XM1111 (Mid-Range-Munition Chemical Energy) was also in development. However, by January 1991, the Berlin Wall had fallen and the Abrams was instead deployed in the Middle East.The Abrams remained untested in combat until the Persian Gulf War in 1991, during Operation Desert Storm. Da diese Waffe aber gegen stark gepanzerte Kampfpanzer wirkungslos ist, verfügen manche Schützenpanzer zusätzlich über Panzerabwehrraketen (z. If and when enemy contact is made, the tank conceals itself allowing the infantry to dismount.Strategic mobility is the ability of the tanks of an armed force to arrive in a timely, cost effective, and synchronized fashion. Osprey Publishing, New Vanguard #2: M1 Abrams Main Battle Tank 1982-1992, Steve Zaloga & Peter SarsonOgorkiewicz, Richard M. (1991). Weighing nearly 68 short tons (almost 62 metric tons), it is one of the heaviest main battle tanks in service.The M1 Abrams entered U.S. service in 1980, ultimately replacing the M60 tank.

Adaptations before the Persian Gulf War (Operations Desert Shield and Desert Storm) gave the vehicle better firepower and NBC (Nuclear, Biological and Chemical) protection.
