A key driver for the global shoulder-fired weapons market will be the demand for new generation anti-armor and anti-aircraft protection. Evolution of battlefield environment has necessitated upgradation and customization of armament. The US Army has been considering including short-range air-defense capabilities in brigade combat teams. The emergence of unmanned aerial systems (UASs), cruise missiles, and long-range rockets (LRRs) pose a threat that is required to be addressed with capable systems. This has resulted in the US Army prioritizing SHORAD and reactivating units back to this core competency. However, the procurement of these systems is yet to be facilitated through an intergovernmental contract.
As per Technavio, the growth in battlefield digitization will have a positive impact on the market and contribute to its growth significantly over the forecast period. This global shoulder-fired weapons market 2019-2023 research report also analyzes other important trends and market drivers that will affect market growth over 2019-2023.

Global shoulder-fired weapons market: Growth in battlefield digitization
To achieve complete situational awareness and perfect synchronization between sensors and responders in a fast-paced mobile environment, network-centric warfare ensures a thorough integration of sensors, communication networks, command centers, and associated platforms. Also, the electro-optic systems on land are observed to be useful in tracking armored vehicles and low-observable missiles, which helps platoons to strategize their approach.
"Technology upgrade for the modern shoulder-fired weapons has resulted in increased situational awareness. Modern versions of prominent shoulder-fired weapons are usually equipped with multiple new technologies such as dual-mode seeker and identification friend or foe systems. Such enhancements will promote the adoption of advanced shoulder-fired weapons by global forces," says a senior research analyst at Technavio.
