More than likely they will buy an off-the-shelf Israeli system like Elbit's Iron Vision. The U.S. Army is incapable of buying a simple handgun, let alone a tank, and it's unlikely Congress will let them repeat FCS when the BCA cap lifts. Hopefully they'll be outright told to get a new howitzer and tank, which is what is actually needed instead of intercontinental helicopters. If we are very lucky, and the USA works quickly, we may have a proper replacement for the M1 tank sometime in the 2040s. If we are unlucky, the USA will be buying Leopard 3s from Germany.
