Design Polish tank direct support created by OBRUM in partnership with the British BAE Systems [2] . A model of the vehicle was unveiled at International Defence Industry Exhibition September 2 2013 years [3] . According to the assumptions of designers full prototype to be completed in 2016 , and mass production is scheduled to begin in 2018 year [2], [4] . Layout PL-01 is very similar to the standard of the main tanks . Driver takes place on the front of the vehicle and an unmanned turret is mounted on the back. The interior fit the commander and gunner, in addition to the rear of the fuselage can carry four soldiers [5] . Vehicle armor is a wielowartstwowa, modular ceramic coating aramid, which is designed to provide the same protection as standard NATO STANAG 4569 Annex A, at 5 + within the front hemisphere of the hull and turret. Additional armor panels mounted on the turret and hull are designed to provide full protection against cumulative projectiles. Vehicle hull provides protection against improvised IED cargoes and landmines in accordance with the standard Stanag 4569 Appendix B at the 4a and 4b. The whole vehicle is covered with radio absorbing material [1] [5] [6] . E-01 is to be equipped with a diesel engine with a capacity of more than 940 hp coupled to a torque converter automatic gearbox and driving assistance mechanism [5] . The suspension is based on the rollers swivel castors with seven. The vehicle can reach speeds up to 70 km / h on the road and 50 km / h in the maximum range of 500 km. It can overcome the inclination to 30 °, trenches, ditches and width 2.6 m, and to overcome obstacles to a water depth of 1.5 meters without any preparation, after preparation up to 5 meters deep [5] . Primary weapon PL-01 will be placed in an unmanned turret gun caliber 105 or 120 mm, in line with NATO standards. Cannon will be able to shoot both conventional missiles and antitank rockets targeted. Automatic loader is to ensure that the rate of the order of 6 rounds per minute. The vehicle has to carry 45 missiles, of which 16 are located in the machine ładowniczym inside the tower. The department is coupled machine gun UKM-2000C cal 7.62 mm with a supply of 1,000 rounds of ammunition [2] [1] [5] . Poland Listeni/ˈpoʊlənd/ (Polish: Polska), officially the Republic of Poland (Polish: Rzeczpospolita Polska; Kashubian: Pòlskô Repùblika), is a country in Central Europe, bordered by Germany to the west; the Czech Republic and Slovakia to the south; Ukraine, Belarus to the east; and the Baltic Sea and Kaliningrad Oblast (a Russian exclave) and Lithuania to the north. The total area of Poland is 312,679 square kilometres (120,726 sq mi),[7] making it the 69th largest country in the world and the 9th largest in Europe. With a population of over 38.5 million people,[7] Poland is the 34th most populous country in the world,[9] the sixth most populous member of the European Union, and its most populous post-communist member. Poland is a unitary state made up of 16 voivodeships. A tank is a tracked, armoured fighting vehicle designed for front-line combat which combines operational mobility and tactical offensive and defensive capabilities. Firepower is normally provided by a large-calibre main gun in a rotating turret and secondary machine guns, while heavy armour and all-terrain mobility provide protection for the tank and its crew, allowing it to perform all primary tasks of the armoured troops on the battlefield.[1] The M1 Abrams is an American third-generation main battle tank produced by the United States. It is named after General Creighton Abrams, former Army Chief of Staff and Commander of U.S. military forces in the Vietnam War from 1968 to 1972. Highly mobile, designed for modern armored ground warfare,[10] the M1 is well armed and heavily armored. Notable features include the use of a powerful gas turbine engine (multifuel capable, usually fueled with JP8 jet fuel), the adoption of sophisticated composite armor, and separate ammunition storage in a blow-out compartment for crew safety. Weighing nearly 68 short tons (almost 62 metric tons), it is one of the heaviest main battle tanks in service. The M1 Abrams entered U.S. service in 1980, replacing the M60 tank.[11] It served for over a decade alongside the improved M60A3, which had entered service in 1978. The M1 remains the principal main battle tank of the United States Army and Marine Corps, and the armies of Egypt, Kuwait, Saudi Arabia, Australia, and Iraq. Stealth technology also termed LO technology (low observable technology) is a sub-discipline of military tactics and passive electronic countermeasures,[1] which cover a range of techniques used with personnel, aircraft, ships, submarines, and missiles, to make them less visible (ideally invisible) to radar, infrared,[2] sonar and other detection methods. It corresponds to camouflage for these parts of the electromagnetic spectrum.
