Features: The Mine Clearing Blade System for the M1A1 Main Battle Tank is an ancillary piece of support equipment. It is electrically operated and is capable of clearing surface or buried mines up to 6 feet in front of the tank's path without the aid of supporting forces or additional equipment. The MCBS has also been adapted for use with the previous Marine Corps Main Battle Tank, the M60A1 Rise/Passive Tank, which is still in the inventory. The adaptation is accomplished by using an adapter kit (described above in general characteristics) and an electrical power interface kit.

Background: The M1 Mine Clearing Blade System is an auxilliary piece of equipment necessary for the tank unit to breech minefields during the normal conduct of operations. In Operation Desert Storm track width mine ploughs proved very successful against pressure fused anti-tank mines and allowed the M1A1 main battle tank to breach mine fields with little loss of momentum. In lose sand, the ploughs could operate at a rate of 30 k/h. When ploughing the plough produces a windrow of soil that is filled with mines. In one case a magnetically fused mine slipped down this windrow and detonated into the side of an Ml producing a mobility kill. Units found that this windrow must be reduced using a mine rake or by laying a MICLIC along side the windrow and detonating it. Units also discovered that the plough was useful in pushing up berms, clearing trench-lines, and delineating counter-attack routes and lager sites.

M- 1A1的生產從1985年至1994年，總共為美國陸軍生產了4796輛。此外，美國海軍陸戰隊也訂購了221輛M-1A1來取代部分M-60A1。這批陸戰隊用M-1A1基本上跟陸軍型完全相同，但是配備了涉水套件以滿足兩棲登陸時的需要，這些包括涉水砲口蓋、一具塔式引擎排氣管、兩具塔式引擎進氣管 (設於砲塔後端的兩側引擎蓋上)等；此外，這批M-1A1還擁有陸戰隊定位回報系統(PLRS)的介面/軟體，在車體上也設有多個繫纜硬點以配合戰車登陸艦的繫纜作業。美國陸軍也向以色列採購了M-1/M-1A1除雷套件，包括加裝於車頭的除雷犁與滾輪除雷器，以及雷區標定系統等等。

後來美國陸軍為M1系列坦克研製了掃雷犁裝置，於1986年定型、1988財政年度中期投入使用，計劃每個M1坦克排配備一套掃雷犁。該裝置包括一套連接在車體牽引鉤上的與履帶等寬的掃雷犁，一套安裝在駕駛艙內的控制箱和一具改進型駕駛員晝夜潛望鏡等。
