Thales UK has been awarded a GBP90 million (USD102.9 million) seven-year subcontract by Rheinmetall BAE Systems Land (RBSL) to integrate sighting systems onto RBSL Challenger 3 (CR3) main battle tanks (MBT), the UK's Defence Equipment and Support announced on 7 February.

In a separate announcement, Thales UK said that it will provide panoramic and fixed azimuth weapon aiming sights for both the vehicle commander and gunner. A Thales spokesperson confirmed to Janes that they will supply the Orion stabilised independent panoramic sight – delivering long-range surveillance and target identification, independent of turret orientation, for the commander.

The Thales DNGS T3 sight – a dual-axis stabilised gunner sight – will also be integrated onto the Challenger 3, the Thales spokesperson noted.
