Military Tech

Empowering the modern soldier with cutting-edge technology

Overview

Military technology is constantly evolving, and the latest advancements in the field are reshaping how wars are fought. With the emergence of cutting-edge technologies such as robotics, AI, and the internet of military things (IoMT), modern militaries are increasingly relying on sophisticated systems that enhance their capabilities on the battlefield. These technological advancements are not only improving the efficiency and effectiveness of military operations but also reducing the risk of human casualties in combat.

One of the most significant advancements in military tech is the development of robotics and semi/fully autonomous systems. These systems are being used for a range of military applications—from surveillance and reconnaissance to combat operations. They can be remotely operated or operate autonomously, enabling military personnel to stay out of harm's way. Additionally, advanced defense equipment such as hypersonic flights and directed energy systems are being used to enhance situational awareness and enable precision strikes. Along with these, Military AI, IoMT, and analytics are also playing a vital role in modern military operations. These technologies enable the collection and analysis of vast amounts of data in real time, allowing commanders to make informed decisions quickly. Finally, immersive technologies like virtual reality (VR) and augmented reality (AR) are also being used for training purposes to simulate realistic scenarios and enhance the skills of soldiers.

Industry scope 

This industry focuses on companies involved in providing technology-driven solutions to the military sector, which include the following: 
  1. Companies offering robotics and semi/fully autonomous ground, aerial, and marine vehicles that can be used for military applications, such as surveying, logistics, reconnaissance, and combat. These systems can either operate autonomously or be remotely controlled, helping to reduce the risk to soldiers.
  2. Developers of sophisticated and advanced defense equipment to counter emerging threats. These solutions include hypersonic flights, directed energy systems, and space militarization.
  3. Military AI, IoMT, and analytics, which use AI technologies, data analytics, networks of sensors, wearables, and IoT devices in military applications, such as intelligence gathering and decision-making to enhance military capabilities. These include collecting battlefield intelligence, providing base security, monitoring soldier health, and equipment and fleet management.
  4. Immersive technologies such as VR and AR to construct synthetic training environments (STEs) for combat training and mission rehearsals to improve the readiness of soldiers and units.
However, we exclude the following areas when selecting companies for this industry:
  1. The use of 3D printing technologies for defense and military applications (covered under the Additive Manufacturing hub).
  2. Cybersecurity providers for the defense industry (covered in the Next-Gen Cybersecurity hub).
  3. Developers of general weapons for the defense and military sectors were excluded due to limited public data available. It is typically done in collaboration with government agencies and military contractors.
