General Dynamics Land Systems (GDLS) unveiled its impressive AbramsX battle tank technology demonstrator at the AUSA 2022. According to former military officials, it is the most significant upgrade of American military tank technology since the early days of the Cold War. While the AbramsX battle tank refers to the Abrams tank family, it’s more of a concept of the future generation of the main battle tank to nullify new threats the modern battlefield brings.

Over the years advances in technology and engineering have accounted for many innovations within the defence sector. Last week we looked at naval vessels and today, we focus on the Challenger 2 MK2 Black Night Battle Tanks.

The original Challenger 2 served with distinction in Bosnia, Kosovo and Iraq and now, the Ministry of Defence (MoD) has extended its service to 2035. BAE Systems have introduced the first working prototype of the Black Night upgrade to the UK’s main battle tank, Challenger 2. It features a state-of-the-art thermal imaging system and many improved defensive systems capable of challenging anything standing in its way.
