Congressman Ryan Secures $65 million for Abrams Tank Modernization (14. Juli 2021)
Congressman Tim Ryan (OH-13), Vice Chairman of the Defense Appropriations Subcommittee, today announces that, working together with House Appropriations Committee Chair Rosa DeLauro (CT-03) and colleagues on the Subcommittee, he has secured committee approval of $65 million to upgrade the M1 Abrams main battle tank, which is produced in Lima, Ohio.
https://timryan.house.gov/media/press-r ... ernizationThe funding secured by Congressman Ryan will extend the service life of the tank and also integrate an unmanned turret. Additionally, it will help to develop the physical architecture and mechanical requirements needed to add an Autoloader and Automated Ammunition Handling System to the Abrams, evaluate current and emerging candidates for an Integrated Active Protection System, and develop new Abrams mobility and power architecture for conversion to a Hybrid Electric Drive propulsion and power generation system.
The Defense spending bill now moves to the full House for consideration before advancing to the Senate.
