YugoImport M-84AB1 main battle tank modernization at Partner 2013, International fair of armaments and defence equipment in Belgrade, Serbia.
     
The following innovations are built into the modernized tank, namely: new fire control system (connected to four-channel sighting device), passive reconnaissance radar system (FIRS), tank surveillance measuring device (TOMS) (for surveillance, reconnaissance and sighting at night and in conditions of reduced visibility), command information system (CIS) (providing situation awareness, and data display on situational map with the possibility of information sharing), remotely controlled weapon station cal. 12.7 mm, system for prevention of explosive fire, system for engine protection, NBC system, explosive reactive armor (ERA), electro-magnetic protection against mines, air-conditioning, modified running gear, and power pack with 1000 or 1200 KS engine.

Adapted tanks represent an example of successful integration of different subsystems into one entity, thus making the tank more complete and improving its quality as firepower carrier. The subsystems developed in the process of the development of the above mentioned tank may be successfully applied to other types of the tanks pertaining to T series including the families of T-55, T-62 and T-72 tanks, as well as other types of tanks.

     
     
The M-84AB1 main battle tank integrated new day/night sighting device DNNS 2ATK with a thermal imager or alternatively, digital fire control system (FCS).

The tank is also equipped with command-information system KIS M84 and the tank commander's TOMS, an universal multi-sensor optoelectronic platform of tank commander.

     
     
To increase its self-protection, the M-84AB1 is fitted with the active optoelectronic protection system SOFTKILL, based on integration of laser detection device, radar detection device and smoke grenade launcher with efficient smoke pots in the visible spectrum, IR, thermal and millimeter radar spectra.
     
     
The M-84AB1 is armed with a new remotre controlled weapon station with 12.7 mm machine gun.
