• What are the key drivers behind recent market
  changes?
• The soldier modernization market is going through
  rapid technological developments with major
  innovations in the fields of networked soldier
  technology and future soldier outfit
  modernization. The defense procurement agencies
  of various countries are constantly updating the
  various manufacturers on potential future
  requirements in fields of lethality,
  survivability, C4ISR, sustainability and
  mobility. This makes it absolutely essential for
  the leading military nations of the world to
  routinely invest in science and technology as
  well as research and development in order to
  ensure they maintain their technological edge.
  Given these factors, the demand for soldier
  modernization solutions will be driven by the
  continual digitization of the modern battlefield
  where many nations are fielding infantry who are
  capable of utilizing tools such as advanced
  navigation, as well as communication and
  targeting equipment. Technological advances in
  the fields of powered exoskeletons and fuel cells
  will also drive the soldier modernization market
  as leading military nations search for ways to
  minimize costs while deploying these technologies
  on the battlefield.

• What makes this report unique and essential to
  read?
• The Global Soldier Modernization Market
  2014-2024 provides detailed analysis of the
  current industry size and growth expectations
  from 2014 to 2024, including highlights of key
  growth stimulators. It also benchmarks the
  industry against key global markets and provides
  detailed understanding of emerging opportunities
  in specific areas.
• Key Features and Benefits
• The report provides detailed analysis of the
  market for soldier modernization systems during
  2014-2024, including the factors that influence
  why countries are investing or cutting
  expenditure on soldier modernization. It provides
  detailed expectations of growth rates and
  projected total expenditure.
• A significant number of countries are investing
  in the development of their domestic solider
  modernization industry by establishing strategic
  alliances and technology transfer agreements with
  established global manufacturers. In addition to
  improving the indigenous capabilities of a
  domestic firm, this provides the foreign company
  with an opportunity to cater to a new market.
  Partnerships between countries that possess an
  advanced defense industrial base, such as US and
  India, aid the mutual sharing of advanced
  technology.

• Key Market Issues
• Followed by the recent US and Eurozone economic
  crisis, numerous countries around the world have
  implemented serious austerity measures on their
  defense budgets during the last two to three
  years. This has adversely affected the progress
  of many nations soldier modernization programs
  which were underway as well as resulted in
  reconsiderations among countries with planned
  programs. The militaries have widely adopted
  troop downsizing as an immediate effort of cost
  cutting which is negatively affecting the
  economies of scale of the orders for new soldier
  kits as part of total soldier modernization
  programs. Troop downsizing can be observed among
  numerous major militaries including the US, the
  UK, France, Germany, Spain, Italy, and South
  Korea. Some of the major examples for defense
  ministries cutting down on their soldier
  modernization spending include the delays and
  scarcity of funds for the Land Warrior Program in
  the US and reduction of orders for soldier kits
  by France and the UK. France intended to procure
  32000 FELIN kits for its troops which however
  were cut by 10000 kits and similarly the UK also
  had intentions to buy 35000 FIST kits which too
  are expected to be reduced considerably.

• Reducing the weight of soldier equipment without
  compromising protection and combat performance is
  a key challenge for the soldier modernization
  industry. Modernization of soldier systems to
  protect, mobilize and empower the soldier has
  resulted in an exponential increase in the total
  weight being carried. The combined weight of
  equipment prevents them from being agile, mobile
  and effective war fighters and lives of soldiers
  are being put at risk as heavy lifesaving
  equipment is often being left behind. Defense
  agencies worldwide are focusing on sourcing and
  integrating the most affordable, lightweight
  soldier equipment and technology to reduce the
  burden to personnel. For example, the US, through
  its Nett Warrior program, is making substantial
  progress in lightening the soldiers load while
  still delivering next generation capabilities.
  The UK defense ministry plans to reduce the load
  on soldiers from 70 kg to not more than 25 kg
  under the Reducing the Burden on the Dismounted
  Soldier (RBDS) program. Furthermore, the defense
  ministries are funding research and development
  projects which focus on reducing the weight of
  equipment, power and communication systems that
  soldiers carry.  All the capability areas such as
  lethality soldiers weapons and ammunition
  survivability and mobility body armor,
  clothing, helmet and equipment C4ISR radios,
  wearable computers and optics have to be
  integrated to reduce the weight. The fact that in
  a 36 hour patrol, the British soldier will end up
  with a 12.25kg weight solely in power, suggests
  the potential for reducing the weight of power
  systems that the soldier carries.

• The power requirement for the dismounted soldier
  is also growing at a rapid pace with battery
  consumption at an all-time high and with the
  industry looking at alternatives, with no major
  breakthrough in sight. The average battery weight
  carried by a US Army soldier in Afghanistan is
  10lbs, although some soldiers carry between
  26-29lbs of batteries based on their battlefield
  role. A study conducted by the US Army
  Communications-Electronics Research, Development,
  and Engineering Center (CERDEC) predicted an 85
  per cent increase in the batteries required by a
  unit to operate in 2015. Another CERDEC study of
  discarded batteries in Afghanistan found 50 per
  cent of batteries had more than 50 percent of
  power left in them, highlighted an issue of
  wastage. Addressing power requirements is
  directly linked to lightening the load and
  reducing the logistic burden with the latter
  resulting in reducing the amount of convoy space
  required to ship batteries. Therefore, the focus
  is on increased energy density and reduced size
  and bulk, and that will be achieved through
  increased and improved integration.

• Key Highlights
• Most of the major militaries are undertaking
  their individual soldier modernization programs
  in order to upgrade their troops capabilities in
  response to the evolving war scenarios including
  asymmetric warfare and fighting in urban
  environments. Major European countries including
  France, Germany, Spain and Italy are implementing
  their modernization programs in a total system
  approach the new equipment is procured in the
  form of complete kits at a time.
• This type of procurement system has certain
  inherent disadvantages or weaknesses including
  rigidity and high complexity in programs and
  slower than expected technological progress which
  together result in program delays and cost
  overruns. Delay in a single module of the program
  affects the progress of the total kit delivery.
  In order to overcome this challenge, many
  countries are currently adopting a step by step
  approach known as the incremental system or a mix
  of the former two according to their
  requirements.
