The bilateral structure in the European defence evolution is the threshold to further interoperability. The logic behind the operational design is linked to the effectiveness of the combined forces whilst targeting further personnel protection. This team might include manned and unmanned ground and air vehicles and the EMBT can work as the structural spine of land forces in such “team” operations. The inclusion of the specific tank project in European land forces can be considered as the guiding line of the MGCS as it will be a decisive contribution to the idea of a military team of vehicles that will work together. The contemporary predictions for the EMBT view the attempt as the most powerful tank in the combat tank state of art, having a significant evolving ability since its growth potential is close to 6 tones.

The core aim of the practical application of the Main Ground Combat System (MGCS) is the replacement of the Leclerc and Leopard-2 tanks by 2035.

The French-German project is called KNDS (Krauss-Maffei Wegmann +Nexter Defense Systems), including both manufacturer`s names, underlying the joint character of the plan.
