The Main Ground Combat System (MGCS) is a project launched in 2017 by Germany and France, aiming to replace their current Leopard 2 and Leclerc main battle tanks. Coordinated by Germany in contrast to the other major Franco-German program launched in 2018, the MGCS will not be a single armoured fighting vehicle but a series of systems conceived around said vehicle. It is to be developed and manufactured by KNDS and Rheinmetall, which joined the project in 2019. The latter's addition to the MGCS did not go without tensions between Paris and Berlin as development leadership on the various pillars of the program as well industrial production were supposed to be equally split between the two countries. Ultimately, an agreement was reached which would see Nexter, KMW and Rheinmetall lead the development of 1/3 of the program's pillars each, with the guarantee that Nexter would be manufacturing 50% of the systems as originally agreed, while the remaining half is shared between the two German contractors. The first production unit is expected to roll off the assembly line in 2035.
