The Falcon is an experimental turret developed in the early 2000s in Jordan as an upgrade to the Jordanian Al-Hussein (Challenger 1) Main Battle Tanks. It's a low profile turret, armed with an automatically loaded Swiss 120mm L/50 RUAG smoothbore gun, capable of firing standard NATO ammunition. The operator controls the turret from inside the vehicle's hull, significantly improving crew protection. A prototype was built and tested, but the design was never mass-produced.

Composite armor consists of combined layers of steel and other material and offers excellent protection against HEAT shells and ATGMs. Additionally, the unmanned turret that is a part of this configuration takes reduced damage when hit. The Challenger series of MBTs consists of some of the best-protected tanks ever developed. | |||||||
