EO/IR Special Report: Asian armies sensitive to vehicle EO/IR needs
Demand for vehicle-based EO/IR systems for surveillance and observation operations is increasing rapidly across the Asia-Pacific region.
Following North America, the region is anticipated to be the fastest growing market for such technology, spending up to $38.9 billion collectively on enhanced ISR capabilities over the next decade.
Countries such as China, Indonesia and Singapore have embarked on efforts to increase their defence spending and invest in modernising their military capabilities.
In particular, programmes to upgrade legacy armoured vehicles with advanced EO/IR systems have been common as armies strive to improve the accuracy of long-range missile systems and boost reconnaissance abilities.
