"Seeking Superiority: US Army Seeks Alternative Tanks for the Pacific Theater"

The US Army is facing the challenge of designing a next-generation tank that can effectively operate in both Europe and the Pacific. The aging M1 Abrams tank, designed for European plains, is not suitable for the jungles and remote islands of the Pacific and is also vulnerable to new threats posed by rival nations. The Army is seeking a tank that is lighter, more mobile, and better protected against advanced threats. However, finding a tank that meets the requirements of both theaters remains a significant challenge, and the analytical capabilities used in the development of the M1 Abrams are currently lacking for the development of a next-generation tank.
