In May 2025, Transcal Engineering made history by becoming the first external supplier to receive RBSL’s Medal of Excellence – for outstanding contributions to critical Defense programs.

Rheinmetall BAE Systems Land, globally-renowned Defense specialists, have worked with Transcal on multiple projects including Challenger II and III, as well as the Boxer programs. The Pershore-based Engineering firm has provided valuable support by fabricating external and internal components for both programs. The award is a testament to the relationship between the two companies, and their commitment to providing best-in-class equipment to the military.

Challenger III is a fourth-generation main battle tank, building and improving upon the Challenger II, with upgrades to surveillance and target acquisition, the weapon control system, mobility, and its electronic architecture. The Challenger III will be in service from 2025.

Boxer is a family of armoured fighting vehicles that is highly capable across a variety of missions thanks to its range of installable drive modules.
