Many countries are developing or looking to develop a next-generation main battle tank for the conflicts of the future. The United States military is working on the M1A3 Abrams, ditching an updated version of the M1A2 for a new, more advanced tank.
Unlike Russian-designed tanks, which employ an autoloader, the Challenger 3 will feature four crew, including the commander, gunner, loader, and driver.
Challenger 3, the latest iteration of the Challenger MBT introduced into service with the British Army, has been manufactured by Rheinmetall BAE Systems Land and has marked an in-service upgrade to the existing Challenger 2 platform.
After prototype trials, the United Kingdom plans to convert 148 of its existing Challenger 2 tanks to the same advanced standard.
RBSL has secured a contract from the UK Ministry of Defence to provide a new modular armour system for the Challenger 3 tank, which will enhance its survivability and counter modern threats.
