Applications
The AGT1500 gas turbine engine has been the force behind the Abrams M1
Main Battle Tank (MBT) mobility since the early 1980s. It provides the power,
speed, quick acceleration and quiet operation which have earned the M1
such high marks across all military theatres. It has maneuvered more than
39 million operating miles, and demonstrated outstanding in-service
reliability through the enhancements introduced through the total integrated
engine revitalization (TIGER) program.
