Tailored Armored Vehicles

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

Enigma Showcases Emerging Defense Technology for the Military

— March 10, 2015 — Autos
With the launch of its armored vehicle prototype for Enigma, Emirates Defense Technology is hoping to appeal to armies inside and outside of the UAE. The 8x8 vehicle was put on display at the International Defence and Security Exhibition and this summer, it will undergo trials with the UAE military before it goes to be manufactured.

Like any industry, customization is really what really makes the Enigma stand apart from other armored vehicles. EDT's company’s chief executive, Mohamed Al Suwaidi notes: "You can change the weapon system on top. We have manufacturing licence agreements with different companies to design, develop and manufacture the armour here in the UAE as a UAE product." Combining design with technology and custom services, the Enigma proves that off-the-shelf designs just aren't going to cut it anymore, even for military use.
Trend Themes
1. Customized Armored Vehicles - There is a growing demand for personalized and tailored armored vehicles to meet specific needs and requirements of defense forces.
2. Modular Weapon Systems - The ability to change weapon systems on top of armored vehicles presents an opportunity for companies to offer modular designs that can be easily modified or switched out as needed.
3. Advanced Armor Manufacturing - Manufacturing agreements with different companies to design, develop, and manufacture armor create an opportunity for innovative materials and processes in the armored vehicle industry.
Industry Implications
1. Defense and Military - Customized armored vehicles with modular designs and advanced armor manufacturing offer a disruptive opportunity for innovation in the defense and military industry.
2. Automotive Manufacturing - Partnerships with armored vehicle manufacturers to develop and produce modular armor and weapon systems offer an opportunity for innovation in automotive manufacturing.
3. Advanced Materials - The need for advanced armor manufacturing for armored vehicles creates an opportunity for the advanced materials industry to develop and supply stronger and more durable materials for the defense industry.
