Market Overview
Effectiveness of Turret Mounted Weapons Set to Shape the Future of the Battlefield
The European Turret Mounted Weapons (TMWs) market will grow rapidly with the incorporation of new technologies invented for the 21st century. Among the interesting technologies are remote-controlled weapon station, more light and accurate gun systems, integration of sophisticated battle management systems and firing beyond the line-of-sight. Improved force protection, force modernisation and the adoption of network-centric warfare coupled with the trend towards modular systems will drive the market for TMWs. The demand for turret mounted weapons increasingly being shaped by lessons learned during military operations in Iraq and Afghanistan, with market dynamics and technology requirements changing at a rapid pace.
Current patterns of conflict have ushered in some key dynamics, which have become roadmaps for future weapon systems manufacturers. Today, most military vehicles can mount some sort of weapon. However, manning them can be hazardous as was proved in the recent Iraq and Afghanistan wars, where soldiers died due to their exposure to enemy sniper fire and counter-fire in urban environments. After the Afghanistan and Iraq wars, customer demand has shifted to light-weight and more effective TMW systems with enhanced crew protection and mobility to support operations in an unknown territory.
Upgrades rather than Procurement of New Systems to be the Preferred Option
"The objective of the modern turret system is to develop light-weight, overwhelmingly lethal, strategically deployable, self-sustaining and survivable combat vehicle systems that can support the combat force and supporting technologies over the next ten years and even beyond," states the analyst. "Additionally, the newly built combat vehicles with modern turret systems are anticipated to provide significant protection to crews by incorporating technologies such as remote-controlled weapon stations, providing shields around the weapon pits over the copula so that it mitigates the effects of being fired upon."
The European TMW market is estimated to be worth a total of $15.3 billion over the period 2007 to 2016. Although procuring new systems is the best option, eventually most European countries will find it difficult to integrate these new capabilities by buying the latest weapons systems, due to costs rising up to 60 percent. In order to reduce the costs significantly, most MoDs prefer to upgrade TMWs, since such upgrades offer a complete package and provide sizeable cost reductions.
