Topics examined include; armoured vehicle design requirements, key emerging global markets, the lessons learned from Iraq and Afghanistan, and the impact of the global economic meltdown as defence budgets (at least in the traditionally big-spending defence nations) continue to wane.

This report is not designed to be a definitive and holistic evaluation of the market; Indeed, no industry study can claim to be a veracious assessment that accounts for every detail and eventuality. It is however intended to be a talking point, to encourage discussion and act as a basis from which the armoured vehicle community can develop forward strategies.
