The Abrams M1A2 System Enhancement Package Version 3 (SEPv3) is highly lethal, survivable, networked, and manoeuvrable. Its protection, accurate and lethal fire, cross-terrain mobility and situational awareness cannot be delivered by any other platform.
The M1A2 SEPv3 is outwardly similar to the M1A1 in appearance. The improvement is most noticeable internally, with the redesign taking advantage of newer technology.
The M1A2 SEPv3 features advancement in technology, including improved armour, communications, reliability, sustainment and fuel efficiency.
The M1A2 SEPv3 main battle tanks offer a high degree of transportability, and can support littoral operations from either the Landing Craft-Medium or Landing Craft-Heavy, or be deployed on a Royal Australian Air Force C-17 aircraft.
