Chobham/Blue Arc Electric Composite Armour- An advanced version Chobham composite armour enhanced with Blue Arc Electic Armour. Blue Arc Armour is made from an advanced electric armour giving almost 100% protection against HEAT/RPG rounds. Also, the electric armour is combined with a styrofoam-kevlar compound which gives it 75% more protection against KE rounds. In all, the Chobham/Blue Arc Electric Composite Armour has been shown in tests to 100% more protection against all forms of attack.
ATDM 2E(Advanced Threat Defence Mechanism Version 2E)- Combining over 200000 sensors positioned all over the tank and various countermeasures to "soft/hard-kill" various guided missiles. The ATDM is able to detect any lasers currently aimed at the tank and the general direction the laser comes from. Then, it launches a "mirror grenade" which throwns a cloud of tiny mirrors particles in the air which scatters the laser beam preventing the laser guiding the missile to the tank. It is also able eject a explosive charge above and sideways from the tank, to a position best suited for intercepting the target. As the charge explodes, it throws a deadly hail of fragments downward, to shutter and destroy the incoming projectile. The system is capable of engaging incoming missiles, at speeds ranging from 70 to 800 meters per second.
ABC-2A (Advanced Ballistic Computer)- The entire fire control system is desgined around 3 LCD touch screens and 20 high resoultion cameras on the tank. The system allows multiple views from various angles however it is also capable of aiming the main gun by simply touching where the gunner wants the gun to fire.
Ground launched Helfire Missile Tubes- The missile is used against targets that are behind cover and unable to be hit by direct fire weapons. The missile is able to be launched up to 300m into the air and can be guided by various laser sources. 2 Extra stowed missiles.
Stinger-Same system as found in the Bradely Linebackers. 4 Extra stowed missiles.
Cost: $6000000 for new tanks.
