Military Armoured Vehicles

The tank is not dead, but it is evolving faster than at any point in the past several decades. The heavy armour losses observed in high-intensity conflict have accelerated demand for three key areas in particular: Active Protection Systems (APS) to shoot down incoming anti-tank missiles before they hit, Unmanned Turrets with autoloaders to reduce crew size and vulnerability, and hybrid-electric powertrains for silent mobility and exportable power. At the same time, the global market is flooded with upgrade requirements for legacy Soviet-era and Western Cold War fleets, as well as growing demand for lighter, more deployable Infantry Fighting Vehicles (IFVs) and Armoured Personnel Carriers (APCs) that can actually move quickly in complex terrain.
