The Army Does Have A Future Tank And It Is The Abrams (From RealClearDefense)

The U.S. Army is on an intensive quest for an array of new technologies with which to design and build new armored fighting vehicles, particularly a replacement for the long-serving Bradley. However much it might yearn for a new tank, the Army lacks the critical technologies that would justify the time and expense pursuing such an objective. Moreover, it doesn’t need to make the effort. The Army’s current main battle tank, the Abrams, is the tank of the future. Major upgrades would create a new version of the Abrams, the M1A3. I have written about this option here.
