Frost & Sullivan: Moving From Layered to Integrated Survivability to Better Protect Armoured Vehicles From Evolving Threats

Frost & Sullivan to Host Analyst Briefing on the Armoured Vehicle Survivability Market on Thursday, August 26, 2010 at 4:00pm BST

LONDON, August 12, 2010: To date, the vehicle survivability market was largely driven by ongoing conflicts in the Middle East; however the gradual drawdown of these military operations is resulting in a shift from combat to stabilization operations. Armoured vehicle procurement across Europe is slowly moving from urgent operational requirement to regular procurement. The experiences gained during active combat will be implemented in every process of vehicle design and new protection systems are being developed to improve the survivability of vehicles against future threats.

To provide unique insights into the armoured vehicle survivability market (passive armour, active protection and electronic countermeasure systems), the Aerospace & Defence Group at Frost & Sullivan (http://www.aerospace.frost.com/) is pleased to announce that it will be hosting an online analyst briefing presentation on Thursday, 26 August, 2010 at 4:00pm BST.

By discussing emerging trends and providing forward projections for the industries involved in vehicle survivability, this briefing will benefit vehicle manufacturers, Ministries of Defence, passive, active, and reactive armour manufacturers as well as electronic countermeasure systems manufacturers.

Highlights of the briefing include analyses of: major market trends in armour systems, active protection systems, and electronic countermeasure systems as well as a discussion on the challenges facing survivability system manufacturers.

"Survivability system providers are using experience gained during active combat to better meet future demand for different protection levels and to better address the inherent shortcomings they entail. It is these shortcomings that now drive demand for high performance materials and other survivability solutions like Active Protection Systems and Electronic Countermeasure Systems," says Frost & Sullivan's Research Associate, Binny Winson. "Shifting procurement patterns and shrinking defence budgets are pushing the armoured vehicle industry toward consolidation. This, together with the lessons learned during war, is forcing survivability system providers to change their product offering from layered survivability to integrated survivability. To succeed, industry participants should start preparing now for the inevitable challenges that lie ahead."
