I wouldn't be so sure about those speed ratings on that M1A1 tank, but it might be so for the lighter version (non HD), but then again, it could be a peak speed.
The sighting systems on the Abrams tank allow the gunner to fire at a target, while another target is being acquired. Quite advanced. The Apache Longbow is even worse: it can track multiple targets simultanously.
Of course, all this information is relayed via satellite, or AWACs, and is shared among all "friendlies": that way, you know if your tank isn't seeing something it can't.
