Based on the platform type, the global active protection system is segmented as land-based, naval, and airborne. The land-based category accounts for the highest share in this segment owing to increasing investments in armored vehicle and infantry fighting vehicles (IFV). Developing countries like India and China are developing a wide range of fighting vehicles. For instance, in 2016, India signed a deal with Russia for 464 T-90 battle tanks. The land-based platform helps a country to make major enhancements in its defense capabilities.
On the basis of the kill system type, the market is categorized into soft kill system, hard kill system, and reactive armor. Hard kill systems are estimated to witness steady growth during the forecasted period due to the heavily effective nature of the killing system, which consists of rocket/missile-based active protection system, directed energy active protection systems, and others.
The key players in this market are, Rheinmetall AG (Germany), Rafael Advanced Defense Systems Ltd. (Israel), Artis LLC (USA), Raytheon Company (USA), Aselsan A.S. (Turkey), Airbus Group (Netherlands), Saab AB (Sweden), Israel Military Industries (Israel), KBM (Russia), Safran (France), amongst others. The global market for active protection systems is marked by intense competition from the major manufacturers operating in this market. Tactical mergers & acquisitions, joint ventures & partnerships, product developments, and expansions are some of the key strategies that are adopted by the leading manufacturers, in order to ensure long-term sustenance in the active protection systems market.
