Rising Use of Advanced Amphibious Combat Vehicle (ACV) in Marine Applications


There has been an increase in the usage of ACVs due to their characteristics such as survivability, mobility, command and control feature, and situational awareness. These features are interconnected with the central processing unit (CPU) of the combat vehicle. Moreover, advanced remote turrets, fire control systems, active protection systems, and counter survivability are installed in the latest combat vehicles. These vehicles play a crucial role in detecting the marine threat and assists to take the desired counter actions. The conventional amphibious excavators were less compatible and reliable as compared to the latest combat amphibious vehicles, as these provide integrated systems to tackle the threat during its operation.


The governments of various countries are looking forward to strengthening its marine domain with highly advanced and versatile ACVs in the upcoming years. For instance, in 2020, the U.S. Marine Corps (USMC) had a contract with BAE Systems. In this contract, the company would develop and supply a total of 116 advanced ACVs incorporated with ammunitions, command and control systems, medium caliber turret, and recovery versions. BAE Systems designs and develops highly advanced combat vehicles integrated with next-generation squad weapons in the vehicles.


DRIVING FACTORS


Rising Investment in Defense Systems to Aid AVs Adoption


For the past few years, countries across the globe involved in modernizing defense systems and equipment. The rising border security and terrorism across the globe are the major reason for the modernization of conventional equipment and systems to tackle the enemy. Countries such as the U.S., China, Saudi Arabia, and India are strengthening its defense sector by investing huge amounts in the procurement and development of advanced military systems. Thus, a combat vehicle plays a vital role in accomplishing battles on land as well as on the water. The marine sector is highly dependent on ACVs for water transportation of troops from ships-to-shore.


Moreover, amphibious assault vehicles (AAV) comprises of robust engines with providing high speed and power in all-terrain. Furthermore, these vehicles are more reliable, versatile, equipped with guns and ammunition, and offer high performance during battlefield operations. Thus, countries across the globe are looking forward to procuring these vehicles for their robust defense system. Hence, fueling the demand for amphibious excavators


The Rising Demand for Commercial Applications to Boost Market


The demand for electrically-propelled vehicles is rising due to its benefits, such as high endurance, high durability, advanced electronic systems, and cost-effective vehicles. These vehicles or cars are used for various commercial applications such as sports activities, mountain climbing, exploration activities, and others. The wide applications of vehicles and increasing demand from these domains boost the growth of the market. The company named EIK Engineering SDN has designed and developed excavators for all-terrain. The company has contracts with key players to design and manufacture amphibious excavators with the help of advanced technologies. Thus, these factors will boost the growth of the market.


RESTRAINING FACTORS


High Initial Cost of Amphibious Vehicles to Dampen Growth


The adoption of advanced technology-based systems and equipment in amphibious vehicles increases the initial cost of the vehicle. The design of the vehicle can be customized as per the applications. Thus the systems used in the vehicle must be compatible with both lands as well as water, leading to enormous expenditure. The engine used in these vehicles is different from the engines used in land-operated vehicles. The cost of engines is the major cost in the vehicle.


Moreover, the maintenance cost of these vehicles is also high. The availability and accessibility of spare components of the vehicles is a major issue. In the case of the defense sector, vehicles are used to transport marine troops from ship to shore. Several accessories of the vehicles, such as payloads, safety equipment, fire protection system, and others, ensure the additional cost to the vehicle. Thus, these factors hamper the growth of the market.
