What anti IED systems (if any) are mounted on the Abrams? (Obviously, I only want to know about visible, external stuff - no OPSEC)
What systems are mounted on Bradleys?

Thanks Frenchy. I hadn't seen any photos of devices mounted on the Abrams series. Apparently, the Duke antennas can be mounted almost anywhere on a vehicle. On the Bradley, I've seen them on the turret bustle rack and now front and rear corners.

Mike,
Those pics are as good as anything that I will be able to come up with...
FWIW: The Brad pictured was assigned to the USMC command in western Iraq. The Army and Marines came to agreement that the Army units assigned to Marines would use USMC countermeasures systems.
