Providing the tank crews and AI systems on the ground with as much battlefield information as possible should always be the goal. “Integrating a shared network across forces and platforms is a significant force multiplier. “The modern battlefield requires that all forces and platforms within them should share a collective network,” said SSG O’Connell (RET). This means that the thermal images of enemy forces from the KF51’s drones, the data from the 360 degree panoramic sensors, FLIR sensors, satellites, and even information from the nearest command post can be accessed through the tank’s network link and soon, all fed to AI data analysis technology to help inform tank operations.
Crucially, these systems are being developed or modernized as part of an integrated network.
In addition to thermal imaging, Forward Looking Infrared (FLIR), and 360 degree sensor technology, the KF51 has SEOSS panoramic sight technology that is viable both during the day and at night and the M1A2 SEPv3 has Blue Force Tracker (BFT) technology. To this end, the KF51 and M1A2 SEPv3 are being designed to communicate with sensors off-platform as well as on. This is because AI technology is only as effective as the amount of available data. The KF51 Panther, the Abrams M1A2 SEPv3, and the T-14 Armata all have autoloader cannons. The T-14 has unmanned turret capabilities, while the KF51 is equipped with the latest sensor-to-shooter link technology. The M1A2 SEPv3 hosts Ammunition Data Link technology, which allows the newest Advanced Multi-Purpose cartridge to be pre-programmed to different modes prior to firing. Once integrated into these systems, AI technology would assess a target against millions of data points simultaneously evaluating sensor data, environmental conditions, and mission criteria in order to relay the correct ammunition and firing specifications to the tank’s automated fire control system in real-time. KF51 Panther, Abrams M1A2 SEPv3 and T-14 ArmataĪutomation and advanced sensory data systems set the stage for AI integration. Today’s most advanced tanks are defined by their artificial intelligence (AI) and remote operating capability. The top ten tanks today are the German KF51 Panther, the American Abrams M1A2, the Russian T-14 Armata, the Korean K2 Black Panther, the Chinese T-99, the German Leopard 2, the French Leclerc XL, the British Challenger 2, the Israeli Merkava V, and the Japanese Type-90.Įach tank is competing for superior firepower, mobility, and strength, but these qualities alone no longer determine which tanks are the most advanced in the world.
