MODERNIZING THE US ARMORED FORCE FOR 2030 AND BEYOND

Recent conflicts have demonstrated the continued tactical and operational importance of armored capabilities on the modern battlespace. Along with growth and delivery of key armored vehicle programs, it is imperative that the US and allied nations continue to modernize their armored vehicle forces to prepare for future engagements.

Numerous US and allied armored vehicle programs are also reaching maturity, providing opportunities for the ongoing innovation in weaponry, automative, electronics and material science that will continue to boost market growth throughout platform life cycles. Annually, the US military spends roughly $5 Billion on the acquisition of new Armored Vehicles.
