Looks alot like an M-1 Abrams with a MILES setup for armoured laser tag  .

MM

 

[ironduke57]

It is an M1, but which version? (An simple M1 would be too easy. )

M1A1....no hunter killer sight (M1A2)

 

[ironduke57]

No. This IMO much harder then "you" think in the first moment.

M1A2 SEP?

 

[ironduke57]

M1A1D Abrams.

Final Answer.

 

[vonGarvin]

XM-1?

 

[vonGarvin]

M1A1 KVT?  (I'm fishing here!)

 

[TN2IC]

M1A1 KVT tank looks right Captain..

 

[ironduke57]

3x No. After some sleep I will give a hint.

Hmmm....

OK, not any one of these....

M1A2
M1SEP
M1A1D
XM-1


Sure doesn't look like a TUSK version either.

I'm stumped.

USMC M1A1 with the experimental "add on armour" panels welded to the front of the turret (can't remember the designation).  Time-wise, this was after they removed the retaining ring from the drive sprocket (an experiment to attempt to reduce thrown tracks), but before the rear side skirt was cut to a larger opening than initally used (solving the thrown track through mud buildup problem).  It is fitted with a Hoffman system and kill light, the commander's .50 equipped for blank firing but it does not yet have all its MILES sensors on.  Suspect that its fording kit (Marine M1s were deep fordable) is in the clag on top of the turret behind the CC.

M1A1 AIM

 

[ironduke57]

No and no. It is an experimental vehicle (AFAIK).
Hint´s: It has a crew of 5. It is unarmed (Only dummy weapon´s.). The only external identification mark is visible on that pic.

M1A1 KVT... That is the only thing I can find. I'm done. Going to the gym now.

From your description in the hints I would presume it to be some kind of "CCC" veh.  Most likely a Troop Comds veh or something similar (going from the size and number of antennas and a crew of 5) however I cannot find any ref to one anywhere including Janes on-line.
