The UK, along with its allies, is playing an active role on the global stage and a key part in fighting and deterring current threats. Military forces worldwide are facing the same challenge of modernising or overhauling their fleets of armoured vehicles through sustainment, upgrades, or expansion whilst maintaining a balance between investment and capability. A vital aspect of this is international cooperation and partnerships with industry. The Armoured Vehicle Defence Acquisition Report 2025-2029 will look at:

• Global and regional trends in the armoured vehicle market
• Updates on the most significant armoured vehicle programmes worldwide
• Spending across the different armoured vehicle segments, including UGVs, tanks and other land vehicles
