The U.S. Army has awarded General Dynamics Land Systems $89 million for work on the Abrams Improved Systems Enhancement Package (SEP) Reset (ISR).
As part of the Reset program, M1A2 SEP Version One tanks will be upgraded to the SEP Version Two configuration that includes improved displays, sights, power, and a tank-infantry phone. It is the most technologically advanced Abrams tank and can accommodate future technology improvements to ensure compatibility with the Army's Future Combat Systems. Work on the 240 tanks will be performed in Anniston, Ala.; Tallahassee, Fla.; Lima, Ohio; Sterling Heights, Mich.; and Scranton, Pa. The upgrading is expected to be completed by September 2009.
