Germany and France approve plan to develop "tank of the future"
German and French Defense Ministers Boris Pistorius and Sébastien Lecorneuil approved plans to jointly develop a next-generation battle tank with artificial intelligence and laser technology during a ceremony in Paris on April 26.
This was reported by AFP.
In Paris, Lecorneuil and Pistorius signed a memorandum of understanding that established an equal distribution of industrial production of the MGSC tank (Main Ground Combat System).
"This is not the tank of the future, but the future of the tank," the French minister commented.
The MGSC will consist of a system of manned and unmanned vehicles and will use artificial intelligence and laser technology. The memorandum defines the manufacturers that will be responsible for key components of the tank systems, including platforms, turrets, and guns.
