Abstract

Main battle tanks (MBT) have always been in the heart of all military campaigns and have enabled armies to fight across the full spectrum of war. Countries need to consider the complex interactions between criteria or factors governing the selection of main battle tank. In order to define the interaction among the criteria , this study aims to use the Interpretive Structural modeling (ISM) methodology . The criteria have been determined by consulting a group of experts.
