If the Panther had that in World War 2 the German's would have swept the Russians off of the battlefield.

the Leopard 2, the Israeli Merkava Mark 3 BAZ has a similar system.

The Russian T-90 and the soon to be released T-99 have their own version of it. The Chinese T-99 latest variant has that on top of a fairly unique laser defense system that is built to blind enemy tank optics.

Most of the top military countries are closing the gap with the excellent M1A1 Main Battle tank, they used the American tank as the standard to achieve.
