3D-printed impeller enhances readiness of Corps’ main battle tank - U.S. Marine Lance Cpl. Charles Matte, a machinist with 1st Maintenance Battalion, Combat Logistics Regiment 15, 1st Marine Logistics Group, mills an impeller fan on a computer numerically controlled lathe machine aboard Camp Pendleton, California, Oct. 17, 2017. In January 2019, Marine Corps Systems Command reviewed the results of 3D printed impellers with over 100-hours of use on Abrams tanks, confirming that a 3D-printed impeller can be a reliable alternative to the original part.

Marine Corps Systems Command is developing a suite of systems that gives M1A1 Abrams tank commanders and their gunners a hunter-killer edge over their enemies. The new Abrams Integrated Display and Targeting System, Tank Commander Single Handle, and slew-to-cue capability make up the trifecta that cuts time to enemy engagement by half while increasing accuracy, range and lethality on the battlefield.

1st Lt. M. Joel Wagaman, project manager at Marine Corps Systems Command’s Program Manager Training Systems, demonstrates the use of the Advanced Gunnery Training System—a simulation-based system that provides Marine crews gunnery and tactical training for the M1A1 Main Battle Tank and Light Armored Vehicle. A team from PM TRASYS recently released the results of a study that prove training in the AGTS can increase Marines’ proficiency while costing the Corps millions less than live training. - 1st Lt. M.
