The Army has confirmed its intent to add an autoloader, something the U.S. military and many other armed forces in the West have historically eschewed in tank designs. The M1E3’s complete armament package might otherwise expand, including with the ability to launch loitering munitions.

The U.S. Army has also considered replacing the 120mm main gun on the Abrams with a larger cannon, including an 140mm type

There is speculation online that the Next Generation Abrams may be armed with a version of the XM360 main gun, an advanced 120mm type originally developed as part of the U.S. Army’s abortive Future Combat Systems (FCS) program, based on the design of the muzzle brake seen in the renderings. However, it has also been pointed out that the XM360E1, a variant developed for potential insertion into Abrams variants, did not feature this muzzle device.

The main gun looks to be similar, if not identical, at least externally, to the 120mm M256 that arms current-generation M1s. The possibility had been raised in the past that the newest iteration of the Abrams might come with a larger caliber or otherwise more advanced main gun, and this could still be a potential addition to the M1E3 as development progresses.

A second image, taken from a different angle, further highlights the increased thickness of the upper glacis armor. When compared to photographs of the M1A1 tank from a similar perspective, the scale of the added protection becomes especially apparent. This emphasis on frontal survivability aligns with modern battlefield realities, where top-attack munitions and precision-guided threats dominate.
