In 2011, commanders in Afghanistan decided that they wanted more troops to dismount from their vehicles and patrol on foot. This shift in strategy has however put human lives at risk and has therefore given rise to a demand for unmanned systems, such as ultra-light robots, that soldiers can carry with one hand and driverless trucks manned with the help of a remote control.

Key Market Issues

The Counter IED market consists of a large number of companies specializing in various fields. And the procurement of such counter IED equipment is limited only to the countries operating extensively in IED threat areas such as Afghanistan and Iraq. This causes high levels of competition in the market and increases the bargaining power of the defense ministries around the world. This lowers the margins of counter IED companies due to reduced unit prices or high offset requirements.

Traditionally, North America and Europe accounted for four-fifths of global defense spending. However, western dominance in this field is steadily declining as a result of the effects of recent economic recession. This situation, coupled with strategic changes to global security, means that the demand for defense systems, such as counter IED equipment, is set to decline in the western market.

Key Highlights

North America accounts for the highest spend in the global counter IED market and most of the expenditure can be attributed to the US, with Canada accounting for a small share. Both the US and Canada have allocated major portion of their counter IED budget towards saving the lives of their soldiers deployed in Iraq and Afghanistan for peace keeping missions. A major share of expenditure is focused on areas such as counter IED vehicles, detection systems, electronic jammers, and other bomb-foiling technologies and unmanned systems. However, the expenditure on counter IED initiatives is expected to decline with the withdrawal of forces from Iraq and Afghanistan.

The US and allied forces have begun a pullout from Afghanistan, with 23000 troops scheduled to be withdrawn from the region by the end of 2012. However, this does not signal the end of US participation in Afghan affairs, with the US led coalition”s campaign expected to continue in the foreseeable future. The Afghan army and police force are currently battling low levels of literacy, corruption within their ranks and lack of equipment and experience. Making them self-sufficient to increase their capabilities on the battlefield in the primary goal of the coalition.
