General Dynamics Land Systems has officially unveiled its AbramsX future main battle tank concept in the flesh — or should we say in the steel.

Earlier this week we wrote up the latest on the feature-packed M1 Abrams evolution, but now we get to see the actual hardware ahead of the Association of the U.S. Army's big conference in Washington, D.C., this week

Do you know where you saw that video? I designed and developed the stabilization software.

I wonder if its some sort of Hydraulic Accumulator design. I just can see a battery big enough to move a tank.

The battery is just big enough to run the sensors and comms with the engine off, allowing the tank to sit quietly and fire without the engine being on. Maybe enough to get it to start moving while the engine is still being started, but I wouldn't count on it.

it was on some youtube vid around the time of the Iraq war. maybe a year or 2 after the start. the tank was doing tight figure 8s on a grade that was about 6 to 10 feet out of level. going up hill and then back down and the whole time the barrel is locked dead nuts on the camera.

if you designed that, two thumbs up to ya!!

I wore myself out for a few days when the war started pinging the list once or twice a day, but flying Russian turrets got old quick!

They stink on ice!

They put out a lot of heat just like an M1 tank.
