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 I worked for the US Army Tank Automotive Command (TACOM) in the Abrams Tank Program Office. I was the PM logistics manager for the Abrams engine, Transmission, final drives and track from 1983 until 2001. I was also on the configuration control board and responsible for reviewing all engineering change proposals for logistics impact on both the hull and turret. Just wondering which contractor you worked for. There were several that built electronic components for the turret. If you don’t want to name your employer on the public forum you can email me.



You must of known my brother. He was a Log guy.


Possible, lots of folks work at TACOM. Was he working in Warren, Michigan?
