PM Tank Systems Open Discussion Topics Future Tank Systems Improved Reliability and Sustainability through 2025 The purpose of this initiative is to conduct lifecycle modernization and support planning for the M1A1 tanks. The result of this planning will be an acquisition strategy addressing incremental technical insertion for tank systems modernization. This systematic acquisition planning approach shall ensure continued combat overmatch capability of the M1A1 tanks through their remaining lifecycle in a cost effective manner, until fielding of a replacement system (2025+). The acquisition strategy developed shall address modernization requirements in terms of survivability, sustainability, lethality, maintainability, and C4I.
