Challenger 3 Main Battle Tanks
The Challenger 3 (CR3) is a third-generation British main battle tank planned in development for the British Army. It will be produced with a conversion of an existing Challenger 2 tank by the UK/Germany Rheinmetall BAE Systems Land joint venture.

Improvements to Challenger 2 began in 2005 as a Capability And Sustainment Program (CSP) to keep Challenger 2 competitive well into the 2030s. Lack of funding caused it to be only in 2014 that the program was officially reorganized into the "Challenger 2 Life Extension Program" (LEP). In response to the LEP program, two product development methods are proposed for design evaluation; one from BAE Systems in 2018 and another from Rheinmetall in 2019.

The Challenger 3 has a new turret with an upgraded hull. The most significant change from the Challenger 3 was the replacement of the Challenger's main armament from the 120 mm L30A1 gun to the 120 mm L55A1 smoothbore gun (an upgraded version of the L55 mounted on the Leopard 2A6/A7 center battle tank family). It was the first British-built tank not to have a main gun from the start.
