The M1 Abrams first entered service with the US Army in 1980. An improved version of the M1, the M1A1, was introduced in 1985.
The M1A1 has a 120 mm M256 smoothbore gun, improved armor and a CBRN protection system.
The M1A2 is a further improvement of the M1A1 with an independent commander's thermal imager and combat module, positional navigation equipment, a digital data bus and a radio interface unit.
Further upgrades include depleted uranium armor for all variants, a system overhaul that returns the entire A1 to like-new condition (M1A1 AIM), a digital enhancement package for the A1 (M1A1D), a unification program to standardize parts between US Army and US Army.
