WASHINGTON, Nov. 16 (UPI) -- The U.S. Army has contracted Lockheed Martin to upgrade the M1A2S Advanced Gunnery Training System for a foreign military sale to Saudi Arabia.
The M1A2S is a specialized Saudi Arabian variant of the M1A2 Abrams tank, which affords tank commanders an independent thermal sight capability. This feature allows operators to attack two targets at once without the need to acquire each one sequentially.
