ADA109168 M BY T H E COMPTROLLER GENERAL Rt To Th e Congress Ck!!• O F T HE U IN "TED STATES Large-Scale Production Of Th e M I Tank Should B e Delayed Until Its Power Train Is Made More Durable T he Army has requested funds to procure 720 M1 tanks in fiscal year 1982. Although the tank ha s met virtually all of its major combat requirements, the tank's power train durability must be improved so that the tank's performance can measure up -to ts full potential. Until this is done, it would be unwise to produce the M in large numbers. To do so would merely increase the inventory of tanlks hampered by engines requiring frequent placement and costly maintenance. Other tank components also required fre- quent maintenance during testing. Whether this w as generally a correctable problem of ,poor quality control at contractor plants, as the Army contends, or whether it will become a~chronic problem remains to be seen. ; .
