General Dynamics Land Systems, Sterling Heights, Michigan, was awarded a $15,992,597 modification (P00006) to contract W56HZV-21-C-0072 for contractor logistics support services for the M1A1SA/M88.
Work will be performed at Camp Taji, Iraq, with an estimated completion date of Dec. 13, 2023.
According to the United States Army Acquisition Support Center (USAASC), the SA variant of the M1A1 tank has a single second-generation Forward-Looking Infrared (FLIR) sight and analog architecture. It adds:
"The M1A1 SA is as survivable and maneuverable as the more modern variants with upgrades such as powertrain improvements and a Blue Force Tracker - a digital command-and-control system that gives commanders information about their location relative to friendly forces."
