Deployment of Self-Propelled Mortar Systems Bolster Middle East & Africa Mortar Systems Market
The increasing application of unmanned systems for various purposes, including weapon delivery, surveillance, or detection, boosts the demand for self-propelled artillery systems. The increasing adoption of self-propelled artillery systems reduces the logistics and transportation challenges faced while moving any artillery system. Self-propelled artillery systems allow for the reduction of the operational manpower required to operate any artillery systems such as howitzer or rocket artilleries.
Many companies have already developed self-propelled artillery systems to provide their customers with reliable and desired mission solutions to remain competitive in the highly competitive marketplace. For instance, in 2021, Czech company EXCALIBUR ARMY announced the launch of its DITA 155 mm wheeled self-propelled howitzer system at IDEX 2021. Similarly, many other companies have been collaboratively working for the development and advancements in the self-propelled artillery systems that are expected to cater to the emerging needs for the customers in the coming years as well. Moreover, the majority of the companies are pushing their investments in terms of procurement of self-propelled howitzer systems. Hence, the increase in the deployment of self-propelled artillery systems is anticipated to be a trend in the mortar systems market.
Middle East & Africa Mortar Systems Market Overview
