U.S. Army shares incredible video of latest M1 tank version tests
The 3rd Battalion, 8th Cavalry, 3rd Armored Brigade Combat Team of the U.S. Army has released incredible video footage shows tests of the latest version of iconic Abrams M1 Main Battle Tank.
Tankers from Fort Hood’s 1st Cavalry Division, 3rd Armored Brigade Combat Team, have conducted test-fire their newest weapon — the M1A2 System Enhancement Package Version 3 (SEPV3) Abrams Main Battle Tank.
The 3rd Greywolf Brigade is the first unit in the U.S. Army to receive the new four crewmembers, 80-ton tanks, which are an upgraded version of the M1A2 Abrams Main Battle Tank. Fort Hood received a total of 29 new tanks.
Equipped with a 120mm smoothbore cannon, M2 .50 caliber machine gun and 7.62mm M240 machine gun, the new tanks are enhanced with improved armor plating to protect against such things as improvised explosive devices (IEDs). On-board computer systems have been upgraded to improve firing accuracy and an auxiliary engine helps save fuel consumption.
The addition of the new tanks is a part of the Greywolf brigade’s ongoing modernization that is set to enhance combat power within America’s First Team during future large scale ground combat operation.

US Army seeks ways for self-propelled howitzers to fire faster
By: Jen Judson

WASHINGTON — The U.S. Army is turning to small business innovators to figure out a way to increase the rate of fire of self-propelled howitzers, according to an Aug. 25 service statement.
The effort is through an Army Small Business Innovation Research pilot that brings government and industry best practices to help drive innovative solutions, according to the release.
“This rate of fire aspect is more than just putting rounds in the back of the howitzers,” Brig. Gen. John Rafferty, who is in charge of the Army’s Long Range Precision Fires modernization efforts, said in the statement. “It’s also about asking, ‘where do we spend all of our time?’ We spend a lot of our time handling unpacking, unloading and downloading ammunition. If we can do that more efficiently we will become a more combat effective unit,” he said.
The program breaks down “long-standing barriers small businesses have face in working with the Army: transparency, access and capital,” the statement added.
The goal is to put small businesses on contract within a month of the close of the submission period, according to the statement.
Companies could receive up to $200,000 during the first phase of the effort, which is expected to last four months “with considerable increases for Phase II and beyond,” the statement read.
And these companies involved “also have the option to participate in a cohort program that grants them unparalleled access to the soldiers who will use their technologies and to Army problem owners,” the statement explained. “By working with these stakeholder groups, innovators can have confidence that the solution they design effectively matches Army needs.”
Earlier this year the Army’s Field Artillery Autonomous Resupply cohort run by the Army Applications Lab marked the first time the service gave companies a chance to “explore the problem and immerse themselves into the problem,” Rafferty said. “It has proven to be an effective process.”
The FAAR participants received $150,000 to complete a 12-week program ending in a pitch to the Army. The Army picked six companies to work on ways to improve the currently cumbersome, taxing and sometimes risky munitions resupply system for field artillery units operating M109 Paladin howitzers.
The Army is also working on an autoloader for the service’s future Extended-Range Cannon Artillery program and plans to field it by 2024. The service toyed with the idea of tapping non-traditional business to come up with a new autoloader but decided instead to go with a government-developed technology demonstrator, which has undergone testing at Yuma Proving Ground, Arizona.
The Army shifted the cohort’s focus to improve the entire system that resupplies munitions to the guns.
Efforts included contributions to an entire resupply system from ordering, to a tracking system, to a transport method and even how ammunition is packaged in order to make resupply faster and more efficient.
The cohort was expected to wrap up capability presentations in April.
The Army is accepting applications for the effort it is calling “Fire Faster” between Sept. 18 and Oct. 6.

US Army issues Air Launched Effects agreements
by Pat Host
The US Army on 24 August issued 10 Air Launched Effects (ALE) project agreements totalling USD29.8 million, according to a service statement.
ALE is a family of systems consisting of an air vehicle, one or multiple payloads, mission system applications, and associated support equipment. They are designed to autonomously or semi-autonomously deliver effects as a single agent or as a member of a team. The goal of ALE is to penetrate, disintegrate, and exploit anti-access/area denial (A2/AD), mid-tier integrated air defence systems, and long- to medium-range fires in the close and deep manoeuvre areas.
An Area-I Air-Launched, Tube-Integrated, Unmanned System (ALTIUS) is launched from the bed of a truck on 4 March 2020 at Yuma Proving Ground, Arizona. This was part of demonstrations for the US Army’s Air Launched Effects (ALE) effort. (US Army)
The 10 projects are categorised into three lines of effort: Air vehicle, mission systems, and payloads. Three agreements for the air vehicle were awarded to Northrop Grumman, Raytheon Technologies, and Area-I.
Three agreements for ALE mission systems were awarded to L3Harris, Collins Aerospace, and Aurora Flight Sciences. Four agreements for the payload were issued to Leonardo, Technology Service Corp (TSC), Raytheon Technologies, and Northrop Grumman.
The US Army Aviation unmanned aircraft system (UAS) project office programme executive office (PEO) said on 26 August that these project agreements, while similar to contracts, are executed under the Aviation and Missile Consortium’s (AMTC’s) other transaction authority (OTA). These project agreements, the office said, were competitively awarded through the AMTC’s 19-04 call for enhanced whitep

First production AMPV ready for delivery to U.S. Army
The first Armored Multi-Purpose Vehicle (AMPV) has driven off the BAE Systems production line to be delivered to the U.S. Army.
Armored Multi-Purpose Vehicle (AMPV) (Picture source: BAE Systems)
The AMPV is central to the Army’s modernization objectives and comes in five variants to meet a wide range of missions across the battlefield. “Finalizing the first AMPV for delivery marks a major milestone for the program and the U.S. Army,” said Bill Sheehy, AMPV program director for BAE Systems’ Ground Vehicles product line. “The AMPV is designed to meet the Army’s missions for the Armored Brigade Combat Teams (ABCT), and lay the foundation for the future of the battlefield.”
Identified by the Army as a top priority for safety and survivability, the AMPV family provides the Army with a highly survivable and mobile fleet of vehicles that address a critical need to replace the Vietnam War-era M113s and maneuver with the ABCT in challenging terrain on the front lines.
The Mission Command vehicle will be the first vehicle delivered and is the cornerstone of the Army's ABCT Network Modernization Strategy. It facilitates digital mission command, taking advantage of increased volume, protection, power and cooling capabilities and provides flexibility and growth capacity for command, control, communications and computer capabilities.
The other variants in the AMPV family include:
• the General Purpose vehicle: operates throughout the battle space to conduct resupply, maintenance, and alternate casualty evacuation from point of injury;
• the Mortar Carrier: provides immediate, and responsive, heavy mortar fire support to the ABCT in the conduct of fast-paced offensive operations;
• the Medical Evacuation vehicle: enables immediate treatment or evacuation at the point of injury to either ambulatory or litter casualties;
• the Medical Treatment vehicle: is the first of its kind, serving as an “operating room on tracks” for life-sustaining care to Soldiers suffering from life-threatening injuries.
“The AMPV family of vehicles provides significant power, mobility, interoperability, and survivability improvements for the ABCT,” said Jeremy Tondreault, vice president and general manager of BAE Systems’ Combat Mission Systems. “The AMPV has demonstrated outstanding survivability and force protection as well as flexibility and growth for the future.”
The AMPV has built-in growth to add new capabilities as technology evolves, including enhanced power generation for advanced electronics, and network connectivity. This gives the Army a vehicle to execute today’s missions, with the ability to adapt to future technologies and capabilities. The AMPV has completed nearly two dozen Army tests and has consistently met or exceeded all of its requirements.
Under the current low rate initial production contract awarded in 2018, BAE Systems will deliver more than 450 of the highly mobile, survivable, multi-purpose vehicles. Work on the AMPV program takes place across BAE Systems’ industrial network, which includes facilities in Aiken, S.C., Anniston, Ala., Phoenix, Ariz., Sterling Heights, Mich., and York, Penn.

The Army released a video showing a combined arms live fire range through the display of their relatively new Enhanced Night Vision Goggle-Binoculars (ENVG-B) Enhanced Vision System (EVS), which is a worn optical device that uses augmented reality to visually identify targets and terrain features in low light situations.
The night vision devices were developed by L3Harris to deliver imagery and data from the battlefield directly to the soldier’s eye. The system includes a new, high-resolution display and an embedded soldier wireless personal area network, rapid target acquisition and augmented reality algorithms to interface with the Army’s Nett Warrior. The complete system will interface with the Army’s family of weapon sights, while enhancing interoperability and data sharing.
