Further development of the Challenger 1 by Vickers Defence Systems
resulted in the Challenger 2 MBT, of which 386 have been ordered by the British
Army, with deliveries running from 1994 through to 2,000. Oman has ordered 18
Challenger 2 MBTs. With the introduction of Challenger 2, all remaining
Chieftain and Challenger 1 MBTs will be phased out of service with the British
Army. Although similar in appearance to Challenger 1, the Challenger 2 MBT has
many improvements including a brand new turret armed with the latest 120mm L30
rifled tank gun firing a new APFSDS-T (Armour Piercing Fin Discarding Sabot
Tracer) projectile with a depleted uranium penetrator. The new computerized
fire control system, all electric gun control and stabilizing system, and
stabilized sights for the commander and gunner give a high degree of first
round hit probability under both day and night conditions. Standard equipment
includes a thermal camera over the manlet of the 120mm gun which provides a
picture for gunner and commander, as well as an NBC (Nuclear, Biological,
Chemical) system, mounting points for additional fuel drums at the rear, and
mounting points for a Combat Dozer Blade at the front of the hull.
