There has been a significant rise in the use of UGVs, artificial intelligence, virtual training and survivability equipment. Also, Active Protection Systems (APS) are being developed in lighter, cheaper and more accurate forms, supporting their case as a popular solution for the future battlespace. With all of the aforementioned in mind, the deployment of MBTs is still seen as a necessity by most in spite of climbing demand for light protected mobility. Ahead of International Armoured Vehicles 2019 conference, Defence IQ has compiled this market report to outline global key programmes and future requirements across all types of armoured vehicles. In January, Senior Representatives from the below countries will share their current requirements and challenges with the audience made up of over

Given that the requirements of modern armoured vehicles are driven by so many conflict- ing factors, perhaps they are the defence establishment’s own camels. Mobility, protection and firepower as core requirements are by no means confined to Main Battle Tanks, but the emergence of uninformed, or “claimed” national industrial strategic capabilities; the tightening of budgets; the growth of “zero-casualty” politics; and the ability to destroy an enemy at drone’s length all impact global demand for vehicles with the full suite of capa- bilities now available. That “full suite” costs space and manoeuvrability, as crews of 4x4 vehicles in combat have, historically, sometimes found to their detriment.

  • Armoured Vehicles Market Report 2014 FOREWORD
    Defence IQ ARMOURED VEHICLES MARKET REPORT 2014 FOREWORD In 1914, the British War Office placed an order for a Holt tractor – one of the most famous forebears of the military battle tank – and began trials at Aldershot in the hopes of delivering a solution to the stalemate of trench warfare through the use of an armoured ‘land ship’. One hundred years on and Aldershot will again be host to the world’s largest conference dedicated to armoured vehicles, the very descendants of that Holt tractor. Modern armoured vehicles will take to the Long Valley Test Track as part of the International Armoured Vehicles 2014 exhibition and conference. Ahead of this key event, Defence IQ has published this report to provide a broad overview of how the international industry looks today. Two overriding trends struck me while reading this report: First, there is a discernible shift – a far more palpable one than I’ve seen in previous iterations of this annual report – of armoured vehicle demand in the growing economies of the Middle East, Africa and Latin America while the more established markets of North America and Europe suffer the effects of the economic downturn. And second, it is clear that, despite protestations to the contrary over recent years, the era of the tank is certainly not dead. While new technologies and ‘smart’ platforms continue to roll off the production line, the survey data and analysis in this report demonstrate that there will always be a requirement for armoured vehicles, be it for expeditionary missions or peacekeeping operations. Despite the tough economic context, nations continue to spend considerable sums on maintaining capable armoured and protected mobility forces.
