Crusader was very old technology, the ARMSCOR G8 and Rhino are much better systems. I personnaly dont like the FCS but the author of the article is fear mongering and needs to shut up or tell the whole story.

Not true. At least as far as the electronics end of it was.
The decision of a diesel engine was a political one and not very well advised, IMO.

M1/M2 platforms will be replaced by an "FCS" combatant with improved lethality and survivability.
This author has a stake in preserving the status quo, but the transition to networked Units of Action will enhance - not reduce - our ability to kill anything on the battlefield.
We're not giving up Abrams for Stryker, not even close.
