Challenger 3 (CR3) is a promising fourth generation British main battle tank being developed for the British Army. It will be produced by converting existing Challenger 2 tanks by the British-German joint venture Rheinmetall BAE Systems Land.
Challenger 3 has a completely new turret with an improved hull. The most significant change to the Challenger 3 is the replacement of the Challenger's main armament from the L30A1 120mm rifled main gun to the L55A1 120mm smoothbore gun (which itself is an updated version of the L55 mounted on the main family), which provides greater muzzle velocity, better armor penetration , as well as interoperability with other NATO member states. This is the first British tank that did not have a rifled main gun from the very beginning.
