The U.S. Army converged on Washington D.C. for the Association of the United States Army (AUSA) Annual Meeting at the Washington Convention Center that kicked off Monday.
"General Dynamics unveiled its new concept for a new army light tank
that weighs in at about 28 tons. The demonstrator dominated in that tank
sort of way and was one of the big reveals.
Dubbed the Griffin, the medium-weight tracked vehicle
demonstrator combines elements of the M1A1/M1A2 Abrams with the
company’s Ajax Scout Specialist Vehicle. Elements from the Abrams
include the main battle tank turret and 120 mm cannon – although this
version of the turret is designed to be lighter. From the Ajax, the
Griffin incorporates the AJAX chassis and power pack.
It was shown kitted out with the 120 mm XM360 gun. If the program
progresses, other features like explosive reactive armor could be
incorporated.
This new light tank has potential to provide a
solution for rapid deployment and mobility with significant firepower
and protection."
Gonna go look for a pic of this mini-me tank But to no avail. Seems that *Griffin Tank* describes a well-known vape and that's it.
