The U.S. Army is gearing up to move tank warfare forward with the development of a new model of Abrams Main Battle Tank that's been designated the AbramsX. This new model, which is a generational update of the M1A2 Abrams MBT, is in the initial planning stages, but should it come to fruition, it will likely dominate battlefields for the foreseeable future.
