By GlobalDataIn 2017, the company secured two separate contracts to provide display systems for the US military’s M1A battle tank.
General Dynamics Land Systems builds the M1 Abrams heavily armoured battle tank for the US Army and US Marine Corps.
The battle tank is also used by land forces in Kuwait, Egypt, Australia, Iraq, and Saudi Arabia. The M1 Abrams entered service with the US Army in 1980.
It is equipped with a 1,500-horsepower turbine engine, 120mm main gun, and special armour.
The army’s Abrams fleet consists of the M1A1 SA and the M1A2 SEP version 2 variants.
Earlier this year, the service released the first images of the latest M1A2C Abrams main battle tank.
Palomar Display also won an add-on modification contract to deliver gunner display systems for the tank.
