The M1A1 Abrams main battle tank is the principal combat tank of the United States Army (and USMC of course).

The M1 Abrams was designed by the General Dynamics Corporation and first entered US Army service around 1980.

An improved version of the M1, the M1A1 was introduced around 1985.

The M1A1 has a 120mm smoothbore gun developed by Rheinmetall GmbH of Germany. These guns, loaded with depleted-uranium shells, proved extraordinarily lethal to the tanks.

Later the M1A2 SEP and TUSK versions entered service, with more protecion against IEDs and unconventional weapon tactics.

What makes the M1A1 a leader in tank design is it's ability to fire on a target, even while operating at top speed. Once the barrel (weapons system) is locked on a target, no matter what kind of uneven terrain is covered or how the tank corners, the barrel stays locked on the target.
