The Army is preparing to receive delivery of its first of six 
newly-upgraded MIA2 SEP v3 Abrams Main Battle Tank pilot tank vehicles 
-- specifically engineered to keep pace with fast changing technology 
and counter major armored warfare threats for decades to come.

The Army is now building the next versions of the Abrams tank – an 
effort which advances on-board power, electronics, computing, sensors, 
weapons and protection to address the prospect of massive, mechanized, 
force-on-force great power land war in coming decades, officials with 
the Army’s Program Executive Office Ground Combat Systems told Scout 
Warrior.
