Collins Aerospace Systems delivered its 400^th generator for the US Army’s Abrams Main Battle Tank as part of a strategic modernization effort. It is a 28-volt DC 1000-amp main power generator, providing 60% more power in the same space and increasing overall reliability, thus contributing to the main battle tank’s global premier status.

The tank generator features an oil-cooled, fully sealed system in a dense package that guarantees combat effectiveness. The company is one of the four businesses that form Raytheon Technologies Corp., and has delivered orders ahead of schedule for the last three years. The company has the resources, extensive portfolios, and experience to address the toughest challenges of customers and adapt to the requirements of a rapidly changing global market.

“The upgraded generator enables the vehicle to operate longer, with minimal maintenance, and increases its mobility and survivability – a force multiplier when it comes to ground combat,” explained Kevin Raftery, Vice President and General Manager - ISR and Space Solutions, Collins Aerospace. “Our extensive experience in electric power generation is a key differentiator for current and future platforms.”
