My employer produced the Abrams M1/M1A1/M1A2 turret electronics for Chrysler Defense, also sole supplier, I was the only employee gifted to handle the task start to finish, phenomenal volume of work for years...hope the system performed in the field as intended?.....and they paid me to do it!..lol!

I was also developing the sensor material at the same time for my employer for Chrysler's future air bag technology/production..... Ahhh the days when we actually made stuff in this country!

Mike, that's cool as hell!


Compared to an M60A3 night and day. All those Army recruiting vids showing the M1 jumping over ditches was not made up. They could do it.of course when operating a tracked vehicle over rough terrain at high speeds runs the risk of throwing a track. Not someone you want to do. As far as comfort the suspension on the M1 was far superior than the earlier tanks.
