The Leclerc tank is a recent weapons system, in full production. The manufacturing methods are adapted to the technological level of the vehicle. The LECLERC has not yet reached its full growth potential. It has an operational life up to 2030 and beyond.

Open-ended electronic architecture, a significant weight margin and armour system that can be renewed guarantee great possibilities for further developments, and easy implementations. Leclerc MBT is the only one in tanks history that will change the technology of its integrated armour devices, in the same conditions that the simple upgrade of an equipment. Present research concerning firing functions (automatic detection of targets, identification of friend-foe etc), protection (counter-measures, active protection etc), mobility (semi-active suspension etc) and communication (onboard user manual, vocal command etc.) ensure the Leclerc tank will be the leader for many years to come.
