In modern armies, battle tanks are considered one of the key components. The main battle tank is a tank that fills the maneuver role and direct fire role of many modern armies. National security concerns are driving the nations to boost their military strength by getting advanced battle tanks and upgrading their existing warfare equipment. Main battle tanks are organized into armored units and they operate with the help of infantry. Main battle tanks are deployed on the battlefield and helped by surveillance and ground aircraft. Hence, Main Battle Tanks (MBT) are also called infantry fighting vehicles.
APC (Armored Personnel Carrier) also called armored combat vehicles, Infantry mobility vehicle or armored car is an armored vehicle designed to carry equipment and troops to the battlefield. The Weight of the APCs (Armored Personnel Carriers) is less than the main battle tanks and infantry fighting vehicles this makes them be more mobile. Unlike the IFVs (Infantry fighting vehicles), APCs do not take part in the direct-fire battle because they are primarily designed only for transport. Still, they are lightly armed for self-defense and are armored for protection against small arms, artillery fire, and shrapnel. Moreover, certain types of APCs are used by non-military organizations also.
There is increased use of MBTs in applications such as fighting and patrolling is one of the factors. Another factor is that technological advancement led to newer models with improved features. Due to increased border-related issues, there is a rise in demand in the global land platforms market size. Another reason for the demand for battle tanks is the rise in the military budget. Technological advancement has resulted in less costly and lightweight systems, this rises the demand for MBT. Next generation MBT, APC and MARAP programs will all drive the global land platforms market size.
Land platforms market trends; because each vehicle is equipped with a variety of sensors, a network is created that gives each unit a better understanding of the environment around them. Sensors improve situational awareness. In addition to ground units, sensors may also communicate with air assets, which is crucial in congested urban situations where verticality comes into play. Land platforms market trends, in order to warn crews of impending dangers from all sides, more modern sensor technology is integrated with cameras and video surveillance for the vehicle. One example is 360-degree field of vision for cameras around the vehicle. Friendly assets receive the information, enabling coordinated strikes.
Improvements to lethality go beyond sensors and include novel ammunition types including case telescoped ammunition and remote-controlled turret technology, which is increasingly common in modern vehicles.
These land platforms market trends will influence the growth of the global land platforms market.
Land platforms market forecast, increasing defense spending will drive the land platforms market growth for new procurement activities. Land platforms market analysis, procurement will also be driven by prevailing geo political conditions in Europe and the Asia Pacific. Land platforms market analysis, cross border aggression will give way to increased procurement of land platforms in Europe and Asia Pacific region. Since land platforms consists of a wide range of vehicles such as MBTs, MARAP, APCs and other lightly armored platform, the increasing demand for these vehicles will drive the demand for land platforms.
Land platforms market reports, under the terms of a $40.6 million deal announced on Tuesday, the U.S. Army will get M88 Heavy Equipment Recovery Combat Utility Lift Evacuation System (HERCULES) vehicles and associated vetronics from BAE Systems' armored combat vehicle specialists. The BAE Systems Platforms & Services division in York, Pennsylvania, has been given the contract to supply the battlefield armored recovery vehicles by representatives of the Army Contracting Command at Detroit Arsenal in Warren, Michigan. The M88A2 HERCULES is the most recent iteration of the M88. Its main function is to free combat vehicles that have been stuck or tangled as well as to repair or replace damaged parts in battle vehicles while they are being fired upon.
land platforms market reports, a new $58.9 million deal with Lockheed Martin will see the company begin to provide the Army with prototypes of a new brigade-level integrated electronic warfare and intelligence platform. The Terrestrial Layer System-Brigade Combat Team (TLS-BCT), a collection of integrated sensors mounted on a vehicle and intended to provide force protection and situational awareness tools, as well as offensive EW and cyber capabilities to disrupt a targeted enemy's systems, received the support of the award on July 13. Three TLS-BCT prototypes will be produced by Lockheed Martin, according to an Army spokeswoman. The contract, which was given as a result of another transaction agreement, is valid until October 2023. The Program Executive Office for Intelligence, Electronic Warfare, and Sensors oversees TLS-BCT.
