Taiwan wanted the M1 Abrams tank but the U.S. refused so a program was created to develop new upgrades for their 400 M60A3 tanks. The evaluations of the upgrades are taking place in 2019 to be implemented in 2020. These upgrades include new fire control systems, sighting systems, turret control and environmental controls against NBC (Nuclear, Biological and Chemical) threats. An automatic loading system for a possible 120mm smooth-bore gun upgrade enabling it to fire modern Western ammunition. An Active Protection System is possible to replace the old steel armor in use now.
