The Jordanian Army is equipped with a mix of British and American tanks, including the [[Challenger 1|Al-Hussein]], [[Chieftain tank|Khalid]] and [[M60 Patton|M-60 Phoenix]]. The older [[Centurion tank]] and M-48A5 series are phased out, as the Challenger and M-60A3 undergo further upgrades.
 
Current projects carried out by [[Jordan Design and Development Bureau]] (JOJODDJODDB) include integration of the Phoenix digital fire and control system and a revised turret for the M-60A3 (featuring ERA of unknown origin) along RUAG L50/52 Smooth-bore Compact Gun to replace the Rifled 120mm L15A1 and 105mm L7/M68 gun of the Challenger 1 and M-60A3 respectively. The Projects have also been offered for export and existing M-60 users such as Egypt or Saudi Arabia have shown interest in KADDB.
 
The M113A2MK-1J remains a standard APC and are being supplanted by [[AIFV]] and local vehicles, including the [[Dawsar|MAP II]] and Al-Temsah (Crocodile, an APC conversion of a [[Centurion tank]] chassis). 24–28 AH-1S/F 'Cobra' equip Army aviation and are equipped with TOW II ATGW and capable of night-time operations since been upgraded. Earlier the [[Bofors 40 mm gun]] was also used.
