Increasing Ammunition Production Urgently
The prolonged Russo-Ukrainian war has revealed significant ammunition shortages, impacting both sides of the conflict. To address the rising demand, proactive companies are devising strategies to diversify munitions capabilities, while focusing on expanding the arsenal and balancing quantity and quality. Given the ongoing geopolitical chaos, what new growth opportunities is your organization focusing on?
Integrating Drones into Military Operations
The battlefield dominance of first-person view (FPV) drones is demanding a shift in warfare tactics. Leading defense companies are already preparing for this transformation, as future warfare strategies will integrate FPV drones more comprehensively, focusing on swarm tactics, electronic countermeasures, and improved drone defenses. Is your organization leveraging disruptive technologies to integrate drone solutions in military operations and secure long-term growth?
Developing Resilient Positioning, Navigation, and Timing Solutions
Global navigation satellite systems (GNSS) are susceptible to heavy jamming in highly contested environments, which highlights the vulnerability of relying solely on these systems. Industry leaders are innovating resilient and redundant positioning, navigation, and timing (PNT) systems, incorporating alternatives like inertial and quantum navigation to maintain operational effectiveness. How is your organization harnessing an innovation-first approach to thrive in the transforming defense ecosystem?
Transitioning to Self-Propelled Artillery
The vulnerability of towed artillery to drone attacks is necessitating a move to self-propelled guns (SPGs). This reflects the need for artillery systems that can adapt to the modern battlefield’s demands for mobility, protection, and rapid response. Is your organization re-aligning its growth strategy according to the ongoing transformations in the defense industry?
