BAE Systems » Challenger 2 The Challenger 2 MBT was introduced into British Army service in 1993 as a replacement for the Challenger 1, which was successfully employed in the 1990-1991 Gulf War. Delivery of 386 tanks to the British Army was completed in 2002, and 38 were built for Oman. The production line is now closed. The Challenger 2 retains the hull, albeit much improved, of its predecessor and features a new turret armed with the high-pressure 120mm L30 gun. The integrated FCS provides commander (360º traverse) and gunner (limited traverse) with independently gyro-stabilised optical/thermal sights, each equipped with a laser rangefinder. BAE Systems supplied upgrade kits for 137 tanks for the 2003 invasion of Iraq and further improvements were made to Challenger 2s employed during the subsequent stabilisation operation. The British Army fleet will be cut to 227 tanks, sufficient to equip three Type 56 armoured regiments. The tanks are expected to be modernised, when funding permits, to ensure their effectiveness beyond 2030. Weight: 62.5t Length: 11.6m including gun Width: 3.5m Height: 2.5m to turret roof Crew: 4 Engine: 890kW Perkins CV12 diesel Max speed: 56km/h on road Max range: 450km on road Gradient: 60% Fording: 1.1m Armament: 120mm L30A1 rifled gun, 7.62mm coaxial L94A1 chain gun, 7.62mm L37A2 MG at commander’s cupola Ammunition: 52 120mm, 4,000 7.62mm rounds

Bumar » Anders Bumar subsidiary OBRUM developed the Anders Light Expeditionary Tank from the Anders Multirole Combat Platform to meet a Polish Army requirement for a tracked fire support vehicle with comparable firepower to an MBT. The Anders tank was first displayed at MSPO 2010 armed with a Ruag 120mm smoothbore gun fed by an automatic loader. A UKM-2000C 7.62mm coaxial MG is mounted to the left of the main armament, and there is a ZSMU-1276 Kobuz RCWS on the turret roof which can be armed with a WKM-B 12.7mm HMG or GA-40 2008 40mm AGL. It has NATO STANAG 4569 Level 3 ballistic protection, which can be upgraded to Level 5, plus Level 3 blast protection. There is space in the rear compartment for four infantrymen.

CIO » B1 Centauro Iveco Fiat-Oto Melara Società Consortile (CIO) developed the B1 Centauro mobile gun system in the 1980s as a replacement for the Italian Army’s M47 tanks. The Centauro was issued to the army’s wheeled medium brigades in parallel with CIO’s C1 Ariete MBT which equips the tracked heavy brigades. CIO produced 400 Centauros from 1991-1996 armed with a 105mm gun plus 84 for the Spanish Army in two batches between 2000 and 2006. As an alternative to the 7.5t 105mm armed turret, CIO integrated the 5.7t HITFACT turret armed with a 120mm smoothbore gun. Oman became the launch customer for the resulting Centauro 120 with an initial order in early 2008 for six plus an option for another three exercised in 2009. CIO has developed prototypes of a more compact 120mm-armed vehicle to meet the Italian Army’s requirement for a ‘Centauro 2’ expected to enter service from the middle of the decade (funding permitting). The Centauro chassis was used as the basis for a family of AFVs.

CIO » C1 Ariete The C1 Ariete MBT was developed by CIO to meet the requirements of the Italian Army. The turret, including the 120mm smoothbore gun and FCS, was produced by Oto Melara, while Iveco Fiat was responsible for the chassis and engine. The first of 200 Arietes was delivered to the army in 1995 and the last in August 2002. A more powerful engine has been developed as an upgrade, as well as add-on armour packs.

General Dynamics » M1 Abrams The M1 Abrams was introduced into US Army service in 1980 as a replacement for the M60. More than 8,800 were built for the army in various models (M1, M1A1, M1A2) while 403 M1A1s were supplied to the USMC. The M1 has been exported to Australia (59 ex-US Army M1A1 AIM), Egypt (over 1,000 M1A1s co-produced locally), Iraq (140 M1A1Ms), Kuwait (218 M1A2s) and Saudi Arabia (315 M1A2s). The M1 has benefitted from continuous product improvements funded by the US Army, resulting in numerous service models, the latest being the M1A2 System Enhancement Package (SEP), which features the Force XXI Battle Command Brigade and Below system and improved cooling. The Tank Urban Survival Kit (TUSK), a series of improvements to enhance the M1’s ability to operate in built-up environments, has been developed as a result of experience since 2003. The US Army expects the M1 to remain in service with its armour brigade combat teams until about 2050, and plans to finish its Abrams M1A2 SEP buy in 2014 and begin upgrading the fleet in 2017, although there is strong Congressional support for sustaining M1 production. GD is proposing installing an MTU 883 diesel engine and Allison transmission, similar to the powerplant in the company’s Ground Combat Vehicle proposal for the US Army, to replace the current Honeywell turbine. According to GD, this would reduce running costs by 14%. Anniston Army Depot and GDLS are upgrading Saudi tanks to M1A2S configuration.

BAE Systems » Bradley Fighting Vehicle The battle-proven Bradley Fighting Vehicle has been at the forefront of US Army operations since the first unit was equipped in 1983. The M2 IFV equips mechanised infantry battalions, while the M3 Cavalry Fighting Vehicle is used by reconnaissance units with armoured brigade combat teams (ABCTs). The latest Bradley A3 has proven itself in both urban operations and open warfare scenarios in Iraq. The A3 features digitised electronics for optimum situational awareness, network connectivity and communication within the ABCTs. BAE Systems also provides the battle-proven Bradley A2 ODS, a capable solution, although with fewer technological enhancements. The Bradley A2 ODS incorporates improvements identified after Operation Desert Storm, including an eye-safe laser rangefinder, GPS and navigation systems. It is equipped with the TOW II missile system, the same 447kW engine as the Bradley A3, and provision for add-on armour tiles and spall liners.
