Soldier lethality is a critical component of the Western armed forces’ modernization plans. Defense thought leaders expect ground close-combat formations to play a substantial role in “any peer-on-peer fight”. Modernizing soldier lethality and operational effectiveness are measured using critical precise weapons, sensors, body armor, and digitized training and simulation platforms to understand, react, and ultimately outmatch opponents in any situation on the battlefield.

This Frost & Sullivan research service focuses on current global efforts to modernize tactical warrior platforms and military solutions as emerging threats intensify in upcoming years. This study focuses on 5 major countries and global Alliances leading this central pillar for tactical modernization of the Infantry Corps: the United States, NATO member countries in Europe, the United Kingdom, Australia, and Israel.

The report discusses critical military buildup plans for Western Infantry Corps, outlining defense agencies and industry partners offering the best opportunities in the market and potential growth opportunities emerging in this growing market until 2025. Tactical solutions for the modern warrior on the battleground are gaining more attention due to lessons learned from the Russo-Ukrainian war. Among the key requirements are the growing connectivity across the command chain, close military support for the commander on the ground, including unmanned platforms, and C4ISR devices to drive tactical data-driven decision-making processes on the ground.

The research service analyzes current trends and future concepts that shed light on defense spending globally and critical modernization programs. It also highlights the focus areas and services of leading market players amid changing demands and emerging military concepts of operations (ConOps).

This report derives information from the Frost & Sullivan database and secondary and primary research conducted by industry analysts, accounting for 20% of this study.
